Family.

[Some] Reasons why my family is awesome
- my mom has fun with her siblings. I wonder what my relationship with my sister will be like when we're older.
- my sister pays for me. we went to eat ramen, and then to study at second cup, and she foot the bill the whole way. (maybe she'll keep paying for me even when we're older.)
- my dad is helpful. he played chauffeur while my mom and I ran errands, saving us valuable car-parking time and effort.
- my mom has good taste. I always end up taking her accessories and hoping she won't notice. (she always notices, but she never minds.) my latest acquisition: a pink cashmere pashmina.
- my parents joke with each other. they still fight, but they learned to laugh about it afterwards.
- my sister introduced me to hockey. she is coming to play on saturday, so we'll get to share the ice one more time.

but most importantly...
- they teach me. about everything. sports, technology, the finer things in life. about the Bible, about forgiveness, generosity. about love.


The fact is, there is no foundation, no secure ground, upon which people may stand today if it isn't the family. This is part of what a family is about, not just love, but letting others know there's someone who is watching out for them.
