Family

My family is the most important thing to me. At the end of the day, they are the only people I can count on to always be there for me. I will always and forever bend over backwards and be there for them. 

As I mentioned in my initial blog, my mother is no longer with me here on earth and she was a single mother raising my siblings and I. When she received her wings and joined the other angels in Heaven, she left me here with my sister, brother and their families; which do include three nieces and a nephew. They are my absolute world. I am closer to my sister, her two daughters and her husband since they live here and we spend a lot of time together.

Sometimes as we all grow older, we tend to move away and spread our wings sometimes leaving our families at a distance. In my case, that is not the situation. My sister is fourteen years older than me and she acts a little like the younger sister now, which honestly she is slightly entitled to. She spent most of her younger years helping my mom raise my brother and I. In my opinion, my mom and her did a job well done. Now that years are passing and her daughters are getting older and our mother is gone, she needs her sister. It's funny, she says to me she needs to see me at least once a week and if I don't call her for a few days, she acts like its been an eternity. Dramatic much? I love her to pieces that's why I always make time for her and her family or at least I try. At the end of the day, we only have each other and her and I are the only ones who understand certain things about our lives that no one else ever will, we share a bond that is undeniably close and filled with love.

Every Sunday is dedicated to my family. I relax a bit and do my own thing for the first half of the day and then off to Sunday dinner. I must admit, I am not a great, okay good cook by any means but as long as I have a recipe in front of me, I can attempt to be. Lately I have been "throwing down" in the kitchen, thanks to Pintrest so for the first time ever, I am hosting Sunday dinner. Actually I am hosting Sunday Funday for my family, my boyfriend's family and our closest friends. I am starting off easy, a barbecue and a relaxing day by the pool. I can't wait to show my family how I host a gathering.

All in all, just remember to make a phone call or go visit your family if you can. As crazy as they can be , no one will ever love you more than they do.
