happy birthday

People comment to me all the time at how close our family is.  I love it that way.  This last weekend we traveled to the big city to help Ronnie and grand daughter KT celebrate their birthdays.  From the end of June thru September everyone's birthdays occur except my daughter-in-laws and mine.  We can't always be together but do try to celebrate when we can.  It's just a little thing but it keeps us connected.  We talk or email almost daily, help each other out when it's needed and try to see each other often.  It gets harder as the kids get older and lives get busier but you have to put some effort into it.  We are not the typical nuclear family but a mix of step kids, grand kids and adopted but it wouldn't be the same if even one were missing.  We definitly put the fun in disfunctional.  I wouldn't want it any other way.

Keep the love alive in your family.  The little stuff that bugs you really isn't important, togetherness is.
