Being family
means more than just smiles
and good times...
It means caring for each other
and building bridges of trust;
not being afraid
to ask and answer difficult questions
pulling together
when things get rough
and knowing that love will be
there no matter what
It means if it's cold and rainy
outside, it's still warm and dry
in our hearts and home
No matter what happens
whether it be good or bad
we still remain
together;
laughing, crying, loving...
Our love grows stronger
as each day passes
So here's to us
Family......

You have such a lovely family,
I know from your words how proud you are of them.
I feel the same about mine.
I have such a very large family and we do just about everything together, we always have so much fun. Sometime they can make me a bit crazy, but I love every single one of them, no matter what. There's really nothing like family.
Your grandson is so precious
Great job on this piece.

I hold my wife as perfect down to her last imperfection. She is the resource for my feeling loved by another and I am hers. I support her best by giving her as much space as I can for her to be all she can be. Being with her without playing a role as much as I possiblly can. We are partners in an adventure called life and have been entrusted with a miracle called Graham, our son. May we be able to live up to it all as much as possible and be full of forgiveness when we are not.
Well written, full of joy and promise.
Love, Tom B.

A beautifully penned piece of what family can mean for so many! I wish that more people held dear the true meaning of togetherness, devotion, and love. Very well penned! May the bond never bend nor break!
