I am loved.

I have been very lucky in my life. I have a wonderful family, and I have been “adopted” into other wonderful families along the way. Though I am no longer friends with many of the people I was in high school, I will never forget the impact their families had on me.

My own family lives near by, but after my fathers death I didn’t seen much of them for many years. That only left me with my Mother and Brother both of whom I was not very fond of in my earlier years. I latched on to any family I could. They weren’t perfect but they were exactly what I needed when I had them.

I won’t get into detail about everyone that would take a book series. I have lost contact with many of my families over the years, but a part of me knows if I were to knock on their door they’d invite me in like no time had passed. There are some though I will carry with me in my head, heart, and hand until the day I die.

I have loved and been loved by an abundance of people, and I wouldn’t trade and of my experiences for the world. I have homes up and down the coast and across the country. I love my family, each and every one of them. They are all different, and I have a special bond with each one. On any given day if someone asked how many siblings I had I’d say “I have 8 brothers 6 sisters from 5 Moms and 3 Dads”. I have Uncountable Aunts and Uncles and more cousins then you can possibly imagine.

Some people think I’m crazy but I just smile and know that I am LOVED.
