A Week of Gratitude, Day Three - Family by Choice

Wednesday, December 3, 2014
In this last year, I have learned an incredibly valuable lesson. And that lesson is, family is as family does.

I have a small cadre of friends who have proven to me, time and time again, that they would go to the ends of the earth for me. In the last year, they have checked on me often, sent me encouraging words electronically, in person, and through snail-mail. They have respected my grief, and followed the rules of the Circle of Grief without fail, in spite of having troubles of their own. They've been unfailingly supportive of me without invading my privacy or my space. I could not have asked for a better, more sensitive support system in this, the worst year of my life.

This year I've been grateful for the friends that I call family, and who consider me the same way.
