Lucky...

     That's how I can sum up my past week. I can't control death or when I get to say my final goodbyes to the people I love and cherish the most...but I can look back and relish in the fact that they were part of my life for however long or little that was. Having to say goodbye to my aunt was something that we'd been told might happen, but getting that phone call doesn't change the fact how hard it was to say bye. I'd be a big liar if I said I wasn't still sad over her death or even shocked...but I can say I'm so lucky to have the family that I have.

        You probably think I'm boasting or bragging...."your family is crazy and dysfunctional!!" And you know what...they are! BUT, we love each other and are always there for each other. Sure, we may not always get to hang out with each other...but these people were my first friends ever....seriously before my mother let me socially interact with strangers...she set me out with my cousins, test the road out, see if I'd kill anyone--I left some bruises but we all lived!

       My family has been there for me for so many of the downs in life, but they've been there for the ups too. So when my family is faced with tragedy it comforts me to know that the shoulders I'm leaning on or shedding tears are from the people I've grown up with since birth. These people actually like to hang out with my crazy self and yet we're not above from fighting over the last piece of pizza or who was watching the TV last. Sure, you'll catch us running around the house because someone is gonna touch with a booger...and yeah we're all over the age of 21--yet our parents will still discipline us with the "chancla" sandal. But, we do like to play bingo or surprise each other with our favorites just cause we know that we enjoy those things. If you've been blessed with such a family...thank your lucky stars!
