I just happen to belong to the best family in eternity. I am not sure how I got so lucky, or what I did to deserve such a blessing, but I am eternally grateful for this gift.

A family that runs together, stays together!

Family. There is something about the word that just makes my heart glow and my face smile. My family is: my mom, my dad, my sisters, my brother, even my grandparents, my aunts, my uncles, my cousins. Each one is part of a unit that I also belong to. We are stuck together by the strongest of bonds, both seen and unseen. 

What a beautiful welcome!

There is ALWAYS room for more.

I was asked this question: Why families?
and it really got me thinking. Life would be so incredibly different without them. There would be nothing that could replace them. Nothing could come close to that automatic support group. Who could I tell everything to? Who could I always be myself around? Where could I love and be loved so unconditionally? 

Right before they left me at college. I guess that was love...

Families are one of my favorite blessings. I have decided that my Heavenly Father has given me a family for my very own so that I could have a little glimpse of the love that he feels for me. He loves me(his daughter)more than I can possibly imagine, and yet, I love my family so much, I can feel the immense love that my parents have for me, and I can understand. I know I will feel boundless love for a family of my own one day.

Here they are, supporting me at graduation!

So take a little time to make sure your family knows how much you love them and appreciate them for all that they do for you. Give them your time and your love in return. And best of all: Remember that you never have to be without them.
