You are born into a family, you have no choice. Talk about luck of the draw.  Everyone you meet will tell you stories about their family.  Some are funny, some sad, some horrendous and some wonderful.  I have to say this is one area I’ve been truly blessed with because I’m the wonderful story.  Yes I have bad stories and funny stories but at the end of the day I really have a wonderful family.  I come from a divorced family so there are multiple tiers to this family. i have step siblings and half siblings plus my real siblings which makes up to a whole bunch of people that love me and I love. I have first cousins who are as close and loving as sisters and brothers and aunt and uncles who I can turn to as if they were a direct extension of my mom and dad.  I have step cousins who are close friends that I grew up with and feel no difference to them then family that is related directly by blood.  I have nieces and nephews that never see me but still kiss me hello like I was just here yesterday.  All these people who have been in my corner cheering me on and helping me through the toughest and darkest of days.  My family never ceases to amaze me.  I am so lucky to have them all in my life I can’t thank them enough for their love and support and friendship.  I bless the universe for giving such a supportive and loving support system.  Thank you to my wonderful family near far extended and blood.  I love you all.

ps My dad, mom, step dad and step mom go without saying they are my heroes.
