I remember the day Ben and I said I do. I was so happy and excited to start a whole new chapter in my life. I felt so blessed to be part of the Lighthart Family. I feel so blessed that I have had the opportunity to get to know some amazing people who I am able to call family. First being Theresa, she being the most gentle women I have ever come across. Then Mira or as many of us know her, G. G. She has been the grandma I always wanted and never had. I have spent countless hours on the phone talking with her listening to stories of her life and learning about so many things from flowers, to food, to family. As this year comes to a close I would like everyone to take a moment to reflect on the things that they have learned from two of the most amazing women I'm honored to call family.
I'm not sure when or why things started going so wrong in this family, and it is sad that there is such a disconnect from one another. Being Christians we should all be able to forgive and forget and get back to what is important and that is family. Being human means we all make mistakes but if we push away everyone the first time something happens we are doomed to be unhappy and alone. I myself would love for everyone to come together as a family, a strong united family one that Theresa and Mira would be so proud of.
I know I have had my fair share of problems and I know I have hurt people, never did I do it intentionally. If anyone has been hurt I am sorry it's not what I wanted to happen. Having said that I hope Ben & William and his family can get back to being the brothers they should be. I know Ben misses everyone as I do to. Aiden , Emily, and Courtney have grown so much and it would be nice if they could have the chance to really get to know the Uncle and Aunt that live a couple blocks away. There are new little members of the family we have never even met. In the end that is just sad.
I pray that everyone has a safe New Year celebration and that we can enter into 2010 with open minds and open HEARTS!
