Day 21 - A Family Day
Once upon a time in October, I ran out of the house, letting the freshness of a chilly autumn morning greet me. It was Saturday, it was early, I was grumpy. As I ran down the driveway to take place in the backseat of my mother's car, the prospect of a family day wasn't exactly the most thrilling. It turned out to be one of the best days of 2010 for me. We headed up north to my sister's house. From there we went out for breakfast and then shopping. It was especially nice to spend time all together for the last time before my sister's baby arrived, since her due date was fast approaching. In a busy life such as the one most of us lead, it's easy to forget to spend time with the most important people, but it's when we actually make the time to do so, that we can be ourselves and be reminded of what truly matters. These days are everlasting in our hearts, they shape our memories and stay with us forever, regardless of the possible personality clashes, fights, disagreements. Family is family and when it comes to mine, they are there when it counts the most and I am immensly grateful for that.
