family

I've been talking about families a lot lately

i know, kind of a random topic
but i'm a tad exited to see mine in 1.5 weeks!!

but in talking to a few different people, i have come to realize how fortunate I am in the family i have been blessed with, and am able to spend eternity with.
I can't even express my love for them, and my gratitude for my parents

do they drive me crazy sometimes?
yes
but that kind of comes with the definition of being a family

i am so grateful to have a functional family
i have a lovely mother and a wonderful father
who are hard working and great examples to me.
we rarely see them fight
and if they do, the best thing in the world is when I get to see them come out of a separate room- laughing.
I have never had a fear of my parents getting a divorce
They spend time with us

so many blessings, this doesn't even scratch the surface.
i could go on and on
I never realized how many families are hurting
are being affected by divorce especially
are full of contention

how many of my friends are members of these types of families

i could not be more grateful for the incredible, family i have been blessed with
