Family

Family is a funny thing. Let's be honest we all have those family members that we know about as well as a stranger on the street. However, we also have those family members that are there through thick and thin and help shape us into the people we become. Some family members we inherit, others are placed in our lives at different points and even though they may not be "blood" relatives they are as much a part of our lives as though who are. It's these "family" members that remind us how lucky we truly are in life.

Today I want to thank a family that is a part of my family, The Whalens. They have been a part of my life for many years, but this past year and some months they have really shown me what it means to be family. They have given me strength and shown me the importance of loving one another and having faith. And, not that I forgot, they have reminded me just how important family is. So, today I want to thank them, I want to tell them how much I love them and I want those of you who are inclined to, to keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Remember to love your loved ones and don't take a second with them for granted.

Until next time...
