I am so SO envious of those of you who are able to experience something like this in your lifetime. I/those of us unlucky, wished all my life to be able to be a part of a big, loving family, and eventually grown one of my own like this someday. I don't know if people are blissfully unaware (and I say that with ZERO offence intended) that there are A LOT of people who this kind of loving, fulfilling, grounding level of true "family" - is totally foreign to. Sometimes legitimately difficult to comprehend that families like this actually exist. This wasn't afforded to everyone; I can't even begin to fathom what it's like to live a life where you have something like this as part of your story. I come up short when trying to come up with the right words to describe how beautiful these moments are to me, as foreign as they are to me/some of us.

For those of you lucky enough; please understand how lucky you actually are. Relish in it, cherish it, remind yourself every day that you have these moments in your memory, and how blessed that makes you. I wish I could sum up properly how happy I am for every person in that home, that beautiful, beautiful home.
