I am trying to find peace with that in my own life now, but it is hard dealing with the disappointment. Of course, you have some pretty great parents too which helps!

It should be that family is everything... if you have a good one! And I agree with that. I'm lucky enough to have a close family with awesome siblings, but I'm not naive enough to think that everyone could have that if they just tried harder. Sometimes family members are duds. Friends can very easily be the family that you've never had and I'm glad that you found that in Tim and Janice's family. What a special relationship!Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17698215169060506496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1768500025681903875.post-47124092800817274572015-08-06T23:46:32.017-04:002015-08-06T23:46:32.017-04:00Wow.
