I am going to follow the lead of the Democratic leader, who noted what he did last week. I was fortunate enough to be part of a family reunion of the Durbin family, honoring my sister-in-law Lorraine on her 90th birthday. She is a wonderful person and a mother of 10--9 boys and 1 girl. We all gathered to enjoy Thanksgiving, the inevitable birthdays during that period of time, as well as anniversaries--63 Durbins. Somehow, America survived. We all came together for a wonderful week. They are wonderful people. I am so happy to be part of the family and to give honor to my sister-in-law Lorraine. I would just say that, when it comes to the rewards of life, there is hardly anything that can match a loving family, and I have that.
