The Family. We are a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases & toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain & kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that binds us all together.
The great advantage of living in a large family is that early lesson of life's essentials functions
Families are like fudge...mostly sweet with a few nuts.
Middlebrooks' Wanna Bes
The great gift of family is being intimately acquainted with people you might never introduce yourself to, had life not done it for you.
