Thursday Thankful - a little late

I missed this yesterday - THURSDAY THANKFUL - I'm thankful for my family, and yes, I have a LARGE one, so I have much more to be thankful for. It says a lot when even if there weren't blood ties I would want these people in my life! People scoff at the Duggars and other large families, but they just don't get what a special experience it is. Friends have gone with us to holidays or parties and come away amazed. John used to thank me after my family get togethers. It is special, hilarious, crazy, amazing, etc. I was lucky to have been born into it, and love that I'm able to "give" it to John and my boys. I love the reaction people have when they find out how large my "clan" is, because it does go through their head that they can't imagine. They don't even think about what it means in having people to share with, the good and the bad. To have so many people to lean on and back you up. There's nothing better!
