I don't know how many people beyond my family read this, but I just want to throw this out there...just for the pure luck that someone runs across it.
Families are the most amazing thing in the world. I don't know how many people realize what great friends they could have in their lives if they just got a little closer to their brothers and sisters and more importantly, their parents.
I recieved some really good news at work today, that I was being bumped up in pay, because I do a good job. After this was told to me, I could not wait to go on my lunch break and call my parents to tell them the news, because I knew that they both would know how much this truly meant. Not only that, but when I got on my lunch break, I had a message waiting from my sister. So I got to start out by talking to her.
How lucky am I? For real, to have recieved the most amazing gift of such an awesome and loving ...nope closeknit, family.
It counts to know that someone really cares about you...
Hold on to that.
