My Family

Families are like fudge - mostly sweet with a few nuts. ~Author Unknown

The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

When you look at your life, the greatest happiness are family happiness. ~Joyce Brother

In some families, please is described as the magic word. In our house, however, it was sorry. ~Margaret Laurence

Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one. ~Jane Howard

Our most basic instinct is not for survival but for family. Most of us would give our own life for the survival of a family member, yet we lead our daily life too often as if we take our family for granted. ~Paul Pearshall

Now that I've moved out again and don't see my family nearly as much, I've realized how much I really do need them. We're all grown up and on our own, but every once and awhile we all get together on a Sunday. And I remember why I love them so much. They love me and they make me smile. My family isn't perfect, but we love each other. So here's to my family, where ever they may be reading this, I love you all and think of you often! And thank you for always being there for me!
