love

I have been so lucky in my life. Blessed beyond belief to the point that I have spent a long time taking it for granted.
The people in my life have made me who I am and their love for me never ceases to amaze me.

From a young age, I wanted my own family, but when things have been against me, I have come to terms with the fact that, it isnt possible.

But all is not lost, I have my family and I so I get nieces and nephews of my own. When out with my youngest niece, I am often asked if she is my daughter, we often laugh and say yes. She is my life, my heart and my sole. She is the first person, as an adult, that I have given my heart to and I have no regrets for that.

I may not always get on as well with my mum, but again, she has been there for me. Silently checking on me on the nights when my mind has struggled to make it through. Nights when she knew I was at risk, yet took the duty on herself rather than kicking me off.

I belong to a little family full of love. They are like any other family, they are not perfect and they make mistakes. But they are my mine and there is no denying that.
And for that I am grateful
