non farm post

This is kind of out of character for this blog as I don't often post personal things - I put this as a comment on a family blog and thought I would share as I'm feeling pretty grateful to my family today... This is regards to my immediate family of 8 siblings and my parents all of whom I love very much I wouldn't be the person I am with out them in my corner.

We are never finished - we are woven and that's wonderful, messy, complicated and delicate and beautiful - we go forward as a group changing and growing... back and forth in and out of relationship ... this tapestry of lives is uniquely ours and we are weaving it - and only when we die will each of our threads be cut but we leave behind this legacy weaving that the children will dance on and then occasionally lift up as their hoopas and we are remembered.
