Family 1000 strong

First off I had to take a breather from writing. I got caught up in the unimportant stuff - you know the nonsense that makes your head spin and makes for a crappy session of dizziness for the next few minutes. Well, it's been a month and a few day's since my last posting, I believe I grew up and matured alot more than I would have liked to within the past month. I lost the silly swagger that comes with being the awesome aunt. I am now the aunt, sister, cousin, niece, and granddaughter that everyone looks up to and depends on. This past weekend proved that we as a family of more than 1000 can gather as one and embrace each other without letting go in fear that moments like this can be lost in an instant. Our family triumphed in love, happiness, and strength as we enjoyed each others company and introduced the newest members of the family to the rest of the Cedar Clan. However, we were also tested as a family, to see if the characteristics that define and bind us through blood will suffice and conquer what would be happening next, the life of a baby was taken before the end of this blessed day, we made it through with more fight than we ever had before, we pulled through for one another, we grieved each others pain, we held one another up and above all Love does heal the aching heart in time. My father gathered the cousins and his children and offered the most humble and pleading prayer, a prayer that I will remember for eternity, because I do believe that families are a blessing and the most sacred gifts we are given by our father in heaven, we are eternal. I am thankful for the time I spent away from this blog, the break has allowed me to see who I am, and what I am. I am also proud to belong to the Cedar Family, I know that my grandparents welcomed home this precious child and eased our pain. Until next time. Take care of one another, remember family no matter how difficult will be your saving grace.
