I let myself weep a moment but then look around at my immediate family and know there are no others I would rather be with. Much love...Roanoke RnRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07135900149266075237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35396165.post-24565938332071188842007-04-08T23:14:00.000-07:002007-04-08T23:14:00.000-07:00Smooches Darling! I know that feeling also BUT you...Smooches Darling! I know that feeling also BUT you know what... while my little one looked for eggs today I realised, yes it would be nice but in the end, THIS moment, this second, is ALL I need to feel whole. She is such a blessing and that I get to share it with her and my "small" family, well that is a hell of a lot better then some right? That is what I try to hold on too, my family may be tini, and a bit disfunctional what there is of it BUT it is mine and I love them and they love me... warts and all! How blessed are we? Besides... I will come be an auntie... I love neices, so much fun AND you can be cool because you are NOT THEIR Mommy, PLUS... you can send their snotty butts home when they get to be too much! ROTFL I honestly think the families of the heart are much better then familys of birth anyways!<BR/><BR/>Hugs- TT-girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01880195323752995377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35396165.post-47644432923831233032007-04-08T12:33:00.000-07:002007-04-08T12:33:00.000-07:00Hanging out at home with just my family is my idea...Hanging out at home with just my family is my idea of paradise!

So we cobble together families and traditions as best we can with what we've got. I hope you will visit my Easter blog and see my family...which is mostly neighbors and friends that I have made living in NC and now Boca Raton.<BR/><BR/>I agree with the previous comment..family is great...even if the family members aren't actually related to you!Dihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07654307538637417448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35396165.post-5344132461083379262007-04-07T22:06:00.000-07:002007-04-07T22:06:00.000-07:00Frannie,I am much like you. My family is not that...Frannie,<BR/><BR/>I am much like you. My family is not that closeknit. Not that we don't love one another, it is just that we do not spend time together. Even at Christmas, when I was home for 10 days, we didn't all get together all at once. Everyone always seems to have something more important to do. Tomorrow, it will only be me and Tuc. My older three are with their father. I did not color eggs, there will be no baskets...my heart just isn't in it this year. NewMan tells me that next year, he will make sure that our lives are full of joy and celebration. Right now, I am just sad. Know that you will be in my thoughts tomorrow.Irishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368365789695838193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35396165.post-49852049963422174742007-04-07T19:08:00.000-07:002007-04-07T19:08:00.000-07:00I have to be honest ~ I'm a lurker. Not anymore! ...I have to be honest ~ I'm a lurker. Not anymore! :) When I read this last post, I just felt that I had to post. I feel really sad for you. Family is such an AWESOME thing, and I really wish that you could have that on a day like tomorrow! A Celebration!!! I will pray for you tomorrow! Like you said ~ make your own traditions! Have fun with YOUR own family!Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05184577061208071388noreply@blogger.com
