It's not just the person we decide to spend the rest of our lives with.
It's not just the children we bear and raise.
It's not just the parents, aunts, uncles, siblings, grandparents that surround us with their love and support.
It's also the friends, the people that we choose to have in our lives, that build our families strong.
It is our friends that support us, listen to us, laugh with us, cry with us. It's those friends who understand where we are at and can offer comfort. It's those friends who you can also in turn support when needed.
Living away from immediate family has been difficult for us. There are days where living in this town, in this place, is next to unbearable because the loneliness sets in. It's all I can feel.
That loneliness, ironically, has kept me from reaching out to those around me in the past. Has kept me from growing my roots...
But, it is then that we need to reach out to those around us.
It is then that we need to build the bonds between our friends, build the support around our families, and to be thankful for the people that do become a part of our family.
Families come in all shapes and sizes...so enjoy and love your family---no matter how that family is pieced together.
