This weekend past I got the opportunity to meet a few family members on a three day trip that was filled with great memories.

It's always refreshing to be around nice people but it was absolutely great being around family, that made me feel comfortable, accepted and welcomed.

This trip really made me realize the importance of family and a supportive unit. Seeing the way my cousins and parents supported me in every possible way and ran to my rescue if needed was a secure feeling. Watching how close my younger cousins were was a great feeling and knowing I have that back at home with my parents and sister was even a greater feeling.

This is an ode to family, the ones that stand by you no matter what differences occur. Always remember to be grateful for the ones you have, you never know when they'll be gone.



'You can kiss your family and friends good- bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world but a world lives in you'- Fredrick Buechner
