The Love of Family

I am always reflecting and thinking about how important family is. This past weekend I was reminded of this, as I experienced a very important weekend, my graduation banquet. Like most weekends spent with my family, this weekend also proved to be a great, fun and memorable one, spent with some of my most important and favorite people in the world!

So from my reflections of this weekend, I really wanted to write a little note on the Importance of Family in my life. Ever since I was born I have been blessed with the most amazing family, I know most people say that, but I really think that mine is the best of the best...and I couldn’t ask for anything more! This wonderful group of people are so special and irreplaceable to me, and I know I will not be able to put into words how important they are to me in a brief blog note.

Right from the get-go my family has been a great foundational base for me, providing me with love and a sense of belonging and value. Although my siblings and I had some fights and arguments throughout the years, like most kids, we always knew that it wouldn’t last long and soon enough we would be out playing together again.
I would like to personally write about each member of my family and how they are so important to me and some of the fondest memories I have with them. So stay tuned to……

Here is a few of my favorite sayings and quotes about family:

The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them. ~Desmond Tutu

If the family were a fruit, it would be an orange, a circle of sections, held together but separable - each segment distinct. ~Letty Cottin Pogrebin
