This has been one very stressful and yet amazing year, so
much has changed in my life and those that I consider family. So many happy and
sad occasions have occurred that it still seems that I am walking in a surreal landscape. It is hard to imagine at times that we all
have gone through so much in just a short time and it is that bond of family
that has kept us all strong enough to move on with our daily lives to honor
those that we have lost this year.
We tend to take many things in our life for granted and sometimes
neglect to express or show our true feelings for those immediately around us in
our daily lives. Being from a farming family, family gatherings with lots of
good food, good fun and camaraderie were what were important throughout the
year. It was during these family gatherings that you caught up on family and
nurtured the bond that makes us all family in one way or another.
Paul and I come from very different family backgrounds but
the one common thread was that family was the most important aspect of our
daily lives growing up. There were weekly or Monthly family gatherings that
included everyone from Grandparents to cousins. The feeling of having that
common denominator that made you whole and who you are today.
The old saying you can pick your friends but not your family
is so true. Yet we have friends in our lives that we consider family and have
that bond that comes with family.
Knowing they will be there for you in your time of need and support you
in whatever venture you undertake.
So let me say this to all of you and you know who you are in
my life that I consider Family and Friends, Thank you for being in my life, our
life. Thank you for your support, your
love and your tolerance...
