I’m a member of a few families. There’s the one I posted about yesterday. Then there’s my Mom and our family. When we’re all together, there’s Mom, Matt, Karlie, Graham and I. I know my mom feels the most complete when we are all together for a special occasion. The last time we did this was Mother’s Day. That was another fun get-together that reminded us how lucky we are.
There are so many different combinations of people in families. In my family, it didn’t end up the way I was taught it probably would in school. I remember a song from early, early on in public school. It might have been from Sesame Street:
Oh I’ve got 5 people in my family
And there’s not one that I would swap
There is a sister and two brothers and a mother and a pop
Oh 5 is such a pretty number
I’m awfully glad that I’ve
Got 5 people in my family
1, 2, 3, 4, 5!
How ideal, eh?
