Day Four

Family.

Not because of the alliteration (though that is handy)!

Family is not defined only by blood, though I"ll start there.

I was put in my family by purpose. It was not chance.

I am who I am, because of them.

Each of the good and the bad moments.

The laugher and jokes that I share with my siblings.

The growth in my relationship with my parents.

wonderful.

Then my family in-laws.

beautiful.

I have been gifted the BEST husband in the world. I'm crazy excited about having life with him. I'm so wonderfully blessed.

The family he was born into, has blessed my life, immeasurable.

The way they love, the way they circle around me is more amazing than I could have ever hoped for.

They challenge, encourage, the breathe life, they are a comfortable rhythm.

I am excited about more life with them.

Then the family by-choice.

The people, the handful that I've chosen to draw into a space, to share life, those that have chosen me, that have drawn me in.

They deepen, sustain and love me in a way that without which I would not be me.
