I guess this is a truth that I dont like to say (or admit maybe) outloud too often, primarily because it hurts me. But someone I work with said something today that hit a hurt spot today. They said that they dont have a family here, well they do, but not the family they were referring too, completely understandable - I was quick to add that all of us - at the cafe are family now too, and we are, truly we are, they care about me as I do them, we love each other and fight with each other and live together and laugh and worship all together, but I know what he meant. Its been so long since I have been with my real family, my kids and my mom and my brother and sister-in-law, like actually lived among them. I have gotten so good at pretending it doesnt bother me, and push it out of my mind and heart, because it is I who has caused it. No we arent fighting or any animosity - but through my actions and poor choices I have been separated from them, its just the way it is right now. I thank God for them everyday that they are ok. and I also thank God for everyone that is family in my life right now. Believe me I am one of the most blessed people on this earth to have this large of a family that loves and cares for me. Its huge! But I understand the hurt of not being with his family. Molly, Zac, mom Kelly mike carrie and the two nephews I never get to see, its been a very long time. It hurts, it does. But I am so thankful and feel very blessed for all my family. The one in Butler and the beautiful amazing family that keeps my going and wanting to keep going. Thats God doing what He does bestest. I love yinz-all Thats what I am thankful for.
