Family


Cell phone, a favorite book, food

All things that come to mind

When I feel like I'm missing something

Yet days can pass where I don't have one thought for these things

Now I don't know about you but for me the one thing I NEED

Is Family

My strong yet silly mom who holds us all together

My stubborn but loving dad who supports us and guides us

All of my brothers who helped mold me into the indepedent woman I am

My little sister who helped show me the softer side in life

The Aunts and Uncles that call to check in just because

The grandparents that tag you in stupid facebook posts, but you like them anyway

All of my cousins that taught me new things

My nieces that showed me the beauty and wonder in life, the endless possibilities

All of the extended family that are around even though we make each other crazy

These people helped form who I am

Without them I would be nothing but a piece of clay waiting to be molded

Praying for the right set of hands to come along

When you think about what you can't live without

Remember those who made it possible for you to live at all
