Describe a positive thing a family member has done for you.
Total head scratcher! Taking time to think about that…

I’m stumped. I can’t think of anything going back years, I’m sure I’m wrong but…
However, my husband is full of positives, never more so than at the moment. Although his work pressures have often been overwhelming, if I or the cats have really needed him he has been there.
I also have a dear friend who is practically a sister, and she is there whenever I need her. Plus my artist friend of many years, who has always had my back and stood up for me.
I have other friends who go the extra mile, are there when I need them, and I feel very, very lucky. Especially my group friends.
They are the family I choose for myself.
As to my actual family, we haven’t been close for years. I’m still in touch with my brother and sister-in-law and their brood, but we don’t live close by, I love them all though, and my niece keeps in good touch, which is wonderful.
However, when you consider that the interference of others ripped us apart for years, I’m very grateful that they’re just present in my life. After a miserable family past, them being there is blessing enough.
Best love

P.S. There’s still nothing like a cuddle from a cat though…don’t tell anyone I said that! Shhhh….
P.P.S. A very kind blogger commented on this post and reminded me of something. My brother made the call that allowed us to rebuild our relationship. I will always be so grateful for that. Particularly the wonderful sister (in-law) and children that came with it.

It’s difficult to think of family that way….sure they’re backbone and studd but definitely head-scratching stuff there 😂 well said.
Who said family should only be mom, dad n siblings? It gives beyond…

Thank you. A lot of damage was done in my family age my entire generation paid for it, which was sad. My brother and I built a new relationship, which is wonderful, but sadly he’s struggling with dementia now. But you’ve reminded me of something he did! Thank you so much. But yes friends are the family you choose for yourself.
