Family. Wow. I just spent the last four days with my family. It was a journey that left me feeling loved, contemplative and, most of all, better. It was the fun, the laughs, and the silliness. The care, catharsis, and connection. And, even the family commotion that we just can’t seem to escape. There is simply something about being with people who lived the life you lived, who understand your hidden pains, and support your secret dreams. Those who know and share your history, and can laugh with you in your shared idiosyncrasies. Truly, there is hope and healing in family.

I am grateful for my family!
