Family

Last weekend  members of my family got together for the weekend in Williamsburg, Virginia for a vacation.  We had a lot of fun!  Since my parents died the meaning of the word "family" has changed for me.  There is no longer a central meeting place (i.e. parents house) where all of the members of the family can get together.  Since I have family members north and south of me it is hard for all of us to get together.  This past weekend made me realize how lucky I am to have been born into this family. Sure, it wasn't always roses, but then, whose family is?  I came away from last weekend with a greater appreciation for my brother and two sisters, along with my brother and sister in law.  Words can't describe how much last weekend meant to me.  I would just like to let the world know that I have a great family!
