Today I am thankful for my family. The close immediate family I see all the time and the family members that for whatever reason I don't get to see anymore. And for those family members that are family by choice, you know the ones, they are such a big part of your life that they are somehow closer than blood relatives. I am even thankful for the family members who have broke my heart... I love them, cause if I didn't it wouldn't hurt so much. God has blessed me with a great family that gave me my roots (and sometimes fertilized me)... but they ALL have helped me grow into the person I am today.
