There is nothing so important in life than family. I cherish mine very much because of the fact that we actually like being around each other. Okay, well most of us like being around each other.:-) We laugh and make jokes and enjoy a good meal together. There's dancing and acting a fool anytime you like. You are loved for who you are, no matter how many mistakes you've made in life. At least that's how I feel when I'm with them.
There's coffee with my parents before work or videotaping my silly brother trying to break dance or my nephews singing up a storm or driving my niece crazy. Trying a new wine or dessert with my sisters or seeing who daddy loves better when we make cookies for him, always leaves a smile in my heart. Watching the love of my life and brother in-law trying to figure what the hec my dad said with his thick Spanish accent. "Hammaletta? What's a hammaletta?" Then there's playing the traditional Puerto Rican instruments at Christmas or a family barbeque for Father's day. This year we gain a new sister and brother in-law, only to add more spice to our times together.
Nothing rings more true than the fact that all of it surrounded by lots and lots of love...and food! (By the way, I make the best cookies.) Here's to you my family!
