Some days it hits me. I have the greatest family in the world! My brothers are some of the greatest men I know. My sisters are beautiful, talented, caring women. My brothers and sisters-in-law are bright, caring, wonderful people. My 'adapted' brothers and sisters are some of my closest and dearly loved friends. My parents are good, kind people who raised wonderful children and want so much to make a true difference in this world. I have several aunts and uncles who are second parents to me and others who I don't know as well, but love deeply nonetheless (ditto on the cousins!). I have amazing grandparents. I have a beautiful nephew and a gaggle of 'nieces' and 'nephews' that I would lay down my life for.

How blessed am I?!
