I could not ask for a better one, I am really a lucky person.
I have two wonderful children!

There are times when I wonder what I would have done without them... They are always there for me when I need someone to hug, kiss or just say 'I love you'. Yhey support me in the choices I make, even if they think I am nuts!

I have learned that family is more than blood..  Family.. real famiy.. is deeper than what one is born to..

Take Johannes B. Jonkers...  someone who loves my daughter more than one could imagine.. and who my daughter loves just as deeply in return...

I somehow knew from the moment I met him online that he was going to be an integeral part of our lives... I never realised just how much so... how he would fly to the United States from Holland to see my daughter.. spend a summer with us.. and now.. he returns often, as much as he possibly can.. and they plan to wed within the next year.. 

Then we have... Mitch and Mary.. or as I prefer to call them.. Master and sissy *grins*

I met Mitch over a year ago on a 'chat-roleplay' site.. he was at that time known as 'DarkHeart'... my roleplay name was cimorene... I remember 'lurking' in his room for hours at a time watching people come and go, watching him.. his wife ma'ri.. visit often.. and a few times, I too came out of the shadows and spoke with him.. but of course.. to want to get to know someone in a deeper sense online.. was something only Jessa and Johan could do.. not me.. so I remained in the shadows, jealous of others who were.. or apeared to be.. his friends...

Finally nearly a year later... I came out of the shadows.. and let him know how I felt.. we.. he, his wife and myself.. along with my children, took the time to get to really know each other... love each other... and now.. we crossed the line of friendship.. into the line of family.. and it feels good, the only regret I have is wasting almost a year till I came from the shadows..

Family is people who are so ingrained in the heart.. that even when bad things happen with one another.. the love remains.. the forgiveness is always there.. open arms.. open heart...

There are more people here who are so much my friends that they are family... DD.. Bryce.. Wendy..  

People I love dearly, and though we may not see or talk with each other for months at a time.. and in some cases..a year at a time.. you know that sometimes they stop as you do.. and suddenly smile remembering a happy moment when they were there...

Family... *smiles*... something good even in bad times...
