Family

Most who read this know that I come from a small family with just my parents and my brother.All my life the friends that I had all came from larger families most with 4 or more kids. I always wanted more sisters to play with and as I look back now I realize that the Lord has really blessed me with alot of sisters who aren't blood but I feel like they are my family. My teenage years I practically lived with Randi and Rachelle and I think back to those being the best times of my life. I, still, to this day feel like they are what I had always wanted in my life. They still share so much with me. I know sometimes I take it for granted and sometimes I am jealous but I know that they will always be there for me. Then as I got older God brought Alison into my life. I always tell her she is my parents favorite daughter, and I am not jealous over that. I am just so grateful for the wonderful friends I have who love me (I think) unconditionally. SO despite the fact my parents stopped after me, which I guess I don't blame them, I still have the best family because I know it was given to me by God. And someday if God ever sees fit for me to get married I will have my big family there and I know they will as happy for me as if I were truly their sister. I thank God for this blessing. I guess as you get older you realize how much having just those few people in your life makes such a difference.I don't mean to be all sentimental I am sure it has to do with the pain in my head from this cold but I also think that Alison coming home for a visit has just made me realize so much. I love my friends and I don't let them know it enough. It feels so right when we are all together and I know that is GOd's handiwork. Be grateful for your friends and family.
