The Best Thing About My Family

Anyone who knows me knows that I have a really great family. My parents are always ready and available to help out and act like it's me doing them a favor when I ask. My family is loving and generous and thoughtful and really entertaining. I'm so blessed.

But, not everyone knows that most of my life I didn't think I had such a great family. I didn't think there was anything wrong with them - specifically. But, I just didn't value all the wonderfulness they freely gave me. I didn't appreciate what I had.

The very best thing about my family is that all those years (about 30 of them), they never pushed me away or tried to pull me too close. They just waited for me to figure it out.
