Family is where it is at....

Family is a word that some do not have the luxury of knowing.  I have a huge family filled with Aunts and Uncles, cousins, sisters, brother, dad, mom, steps and halfs anyway you look at it I have family.

I had an interesting day today.  One of my sisters called to talk with me and my son today.  He's 19 and done hearing from mom.  So Aunt took over today.  She worked magic in a situation that I just couldn't figure out.

What an amazing thing to watch and listen to how she was able to talk through every aspect of the conversation.  Bit by bit...I am thankful.

The interesting thing is that my sister and I have not always gotten along with each other.  We could go years without speaking but I know one thing about her....if I ever need to talk she is there with open arms.  To give me her brutally honest opinion on every situation.  When we hang up the phone we may not talk again for ten years but if I need her she will be there.

It has taken me 44 long years to realize that she has her faults in life but being a good sister to me is not one of them.  We all have our faults but family is where it is at....

I love you sis...I appreciate the advice you give...I cherish the memories that we make....I especially want to thank you for being a second mom to my son.  Without you in our lives to help who knows where we'd be right now.

I'm forever grateful....
