Laughter. Holidays/ Food. Games. Music. Fun. Love. These are words that come to mind when I think about "extended family". I loved holidays growing up. There was always lots of people and food and fun. I remember the nerf gun Christmas and running down the hall and dodging into rooms playing with my uncles. I remember being stuffed ALL DAY LONG cause all we did is eat and eat and eat. Ah. It makes me sightly sad when I think about how all of us are sooooo far away now and living in different states but still today....
I'm thankful for my extended family.
I am beyond blessed in this area and I know I take it for granted. Not everyone has the type of family I do. My aunts and uncles have been some of my biggest supporters in life. They have always encouraged me and helped me along the way in life. They have been a sounding board, a book of wisdom and a fountain of love to me. I know they are always there and it's like I have several sets of parents in many ways. I really hope that when it comes time for me to raise a family that my children will be able to experience and know extended family like I do.
