We are Family

As much as I hated sharing a bathroom between 5 people and despised the small, white and brown toned house I grew up in I miss living in a house full of people. My living quarters are colorful and cozy and I exhale with great joy and gratefulness each time I step inside them, but sometimes when I home alone and have been for a couple of days I look around feel a deep sense of aloness. ( I am not sure that is a real word but I am going to use it anyway. I hope you don't mind?)

A couple of weeks ago I went to visit a family I have seen grow from a couple and little baby bump to a couple, three beautiful charming children, and a good sized baby bump. Two days I spent as an additional limb to this gracefully functioning family body and felt a belonging I usually only feel when I am at home with my Mommy, siblings and their offspring. Thank you Borlase family for emotionally embracing me.
