Thankfulness Day 24

My extended family is something that I always treasure.  My aunts, uncles, and cousins are all very much a part of what I consider my circle.  We joke about us being dysfunctionally close.  We love to spend time together.  We laugh - often to the point of tears.  We also cry together.  This group of people means the absolute world to me.  In this year we have grieved together, celebrated together, and encouraged one another.  I am thankful that God saw fit to place these people - not just in my life - but as my family.
