cancer did not defeat her,
it allowed her superhero to shine through.
we said our goodbyes to my beautiful aunt this past week.
it was heart-wrenching and lovely.
i know she was smiling down on us.
have i told you how wonderful my family is?
they are.
amazing.
you need not be blood to be a part of the awesome.
it makes my heart happy to hear my husband say how great we are,
and that he can feel like he truly belongs,
when his other family shut the door on us years ago.
we are not a perfect family by any means,
but we have big hearts,
and big laughs,
and lots of love.
{that’s what matters.}
