I saw this on FB today. It was so pretty and, of course, I clicked "like" and shared it. Then I got to thinking about it a little more.
Who exactly are our family? Parents? Spouse/partner? Siblings? Yes, yes and yes. More than all those, our family are really our children.
So many times I am reminded of how blessed I am to have a complete family. Without my children, there would be an emptiness and void in my life.
I know there are people who say they don't want kids. They are happy without them. I'm not saying they are unhappy. I'm just saying that they miss all the joy of having children. Later when grandchildren come along, it is a luxury that money cannot buy.
Maybe I speak for myself only but I think Stephen feels the same way. Our lives wouldn't be complete if we didn't have the children in it.
Counting the days till my girls come for their holidays!
Such a lovely post, Lita! Especially the last line, where you count the days. Your girls are so lucky to have an aunt like you.
ReplyDeleteFamily means many things to me - and my definition sometimes needs to be changed! hahahaha! Some new additions, and some to be minus-ed! Not deleted, mind ;)
Thank you again and again for constantly saying nice things about me. If that doesn't qualify you to being family, I don't know what is.

such lovely definition of "family".....looking forward to enjoy my grandchildren :)
ReplyDeleteFor sure, Hani. Our grandchildren will be the joy of our lives and the only luxury we will need.
DeleteIt's even better to have 2 sets of parents. It's double the LOVE!

ReplyDeleteI'm experiencing some small security problems with my latest site and I'd
like to find something more secure. Do you have any
suggestions?
