Family

I remember when I was younger that I admired my Aunt Debbie. She was so vivacious and I just thought she was the must remarkable women that I know. It's funny when you're younger how much you look up to people. How much they impact your life. My Aunt was one of those people for me. Even though we didn't spend alot of time together. It was the time we did. She was in my eyes at that time a very strong women, very independent thinking, very vocal. She was my step-father's sister. When my mother and step-father divorced I no longer seen my Aunt Debbie. But, I will always remember when I got my period and she talked me though it. You know, told me that I wasn't dying (which I thought I was!) and that every women has it.
I can see that my daughter (Rozalynn) has that same admired look when ever she see her Aunt Rhonda. That same kind of joy and anticipation whenever she sees her or know she is coming over to visit.
My son ( Keanul) loves his older cousins Justin, Joel, and Jarad. Jarad is only 3 years older, but boy does he make an impact on Keanul. Keanul very much enjoys spending time with him; hanging out, talking, playing video games! And I love that fact that Jarad has taken Keanul under his wing, like a big brother. I love the fact that they are so close. I love that our family is very close and that we love spending time with one and other. That to me is what family is all about that kind of bond, link, unity, that knot that can't be broken.

Palms 67:1
May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us.

I'm crying...
What an honor. Thank you.

I remember holding her for the first time in the hospital. I thought I'd burst with pride!

I love you!

Oh my, what a post. I am all teared up myself. First you give me a foot massage and pedicure and then I read this. My heart is overflowing with gratitude and love for you. You are a perfect fit for this family.
