Family

Anyone who knows me, knows family means everything to me. I feel like my family is unique and insane, but who doesn't when it comes to their family? But sometimes my family really pushes the limits. However, we always stand by each other....through thick and thin, the good times and the bad times. And in this case, the worst of times. My brother-in-law is sick. He has a disease that has no cure and it will eventually take his life. I am so deeply saddened by the raw, hard facts. He is a great father to my five nieces and nephews and a good friend to my sister. They have a unique relationship since they haven't been "married" for several years, but they moved back in with each other after the loss of his mother last year to help support each other and raise their kids together . My sister and nieces and nephews are so strong. It's their battle as much as it's his. Actually, it's our battle. Here's to staying strong for each other's sake.
