We live a VERY long way from our family. It’s our choice. This is where we’ve chosen to live, work and raise our sweet family. But I probably don’t have to tell most of you how difficult that can be A LOT of the time…especially with kids!! We miss them, they miss us, the kids are missing their grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. Makes me terribly sad! Not to mention the fact that you have to pay a sitter when you need to go do something as simple as a 20 minute haircut. Ridiculous!!
It can be a lonely feeling to look around and look for the faces that are a reflection of you, the people that have known you forever, to whom you never have to explain anything, because they just know. You know the feeling.
However, tonight when my closest friend texted me to tell me something about her sweet baby, I cried as I felt her pain as a mother and friend, and I panicked because I love her child so much. My heart hurt for them. Then it occurred to me…we're not without our family. Just the family we've always had.
They are our friends.
They are our family.
They are our framily! And we are blessed! J
