Family

Because of some heart wrenching news I've been thinking a lot about family today...what it is and how lucky I am to experience it the way that I do. Family is about the bonds that are built with those people who love and care for you, and those you love and care for. Family is not always made up of those who share the same genes. No matter what changes in your life your family is the one constant you can count on. A family I know is facing a possibility of being separated because the law doesn't see things the same way I do. You aren't blood, you aren't family. I am really hoping that's not the final answer.

A filler post?

Lily and I are spending some time in Oceanside this week. It's nice being with my family, I have missed them so much. My goal was to come down and finish my Christmas crafts, presents, and baking. So far I have finished part of my baking and not much else. That's okay though because I have gotten to see my family and a few friends. There is really only one person I haven't seen yet that I am dying to see, but depending on how today went I'm not sure I will get to.

Tomorrow will be an interesting day for my new "positive" attitude. Harry was supposed to come home from the hospital tonight, but I'm still not sure that has happened...kinda hoping it hasn't. Tomorrow will start with mass for Uncle Raymond followed by a trip to the cemetery with Grams. Part of me is trying to prepare now, but the other part of me thinks I should just let whatever happens happen. It's kinda difficult for me though.
