I remember this evening well. It was New Year's Eve, December 31st 1977 (soon to be 1978)and Bob and I were just about ready to leave for a New Year's Eve party at Maureen and Frank Seier's house in another part of Hicksville, Long Island. The photo was taken at Marty & Donna's house on Sunnyfield Rd. If I remember correctly Marty & Donna were having a few friends over to their house to celebrate New Year's Eve and they had offered to babysit for Brian for us. He was all ready for bed and I imagine I tried to get him to sleep before we left. The party at Frank and Maureen's was very nice. I spent quite a long time sitting and talking to Frank's twin brother, Joe Seier. I am not sure if he had a date that night but he was still single and was "finding his way' and needed to talk. The next day, Brian's Aunt Diane stopped in for a short visit since she was on Long Island for the holiday. I was so proud when Brian called me "Mama" in front of her. She smiled and said, that's right Brian, I know she is your Mama. I had waited a long time to be a mother and my dream had finally come true.
