Family!

I lost a friend this year that means more to me than I can express.

We do not get to choose the family we are born in to but we do choose the family we honor, celebrate, and support.

A recent phone call recently made me think about my childhood home.

I am so grateful for what God has given me.

I have been gifted with the most amazing family. My husband and children fill my heart.

The Snodgrass's have been a gift from god. Family. The most open love, support, and priceless joy! A memory album that clicks away with laughter and life!

I love you all so much!

I remember my friend everyday. I miss her everyday. I love her everyday.

Wherever they are I love them. Whatever they do .. I am so proud.. They fill my heart with joy and pride! How inspiring and loving these people are. What gifts they are to their own families and to those around them.

What incredible people the entire lot.

Aren't we so blessed!

Someone told me that life is like walking through a hall of doors. Life changes and the view point is forever changing.

The people who love and care for you never go away.

Those who don't care or aren't worth it step aside and out of your life.

When I heard it I thought is was odd and untrue.

How true it is.

Loss and birth are a cycle never ending.
