This last month something has come to me. After remembering a conversation with my sister, over a year ago, it dawned on me. I am thankful I came from what she calls," a broken family."
I was of course always wishing my parents would get back together, until my dad told us he was gay, but thats another story. Every kid wants their mom and day together and happy like they see in the movies, I did too.
But that would have set me up to believe in the cinematic fairy tale. I would have lived it and believed thats how it was going to be.
I seen many of my moms boyfriends come and go. Not gonna lie, I never liked any of them so seeing them go never broke my heart. Haha. And ive seen my dad search for love as well. Both of them are still searching.
Then I thought, what if they had found the perfect person and let a small imperfection change their way.
Growing up the way I did made me sure, NOBODY is perfect. Yes, that includes you. Sometimes im lazy. Sometimes id rather go to sleep than have a quickie. Sometimes I forget to put gas in or check the oil.
Sometimes is just that, sometimes. And Jeremiah has learned to deal with it. :) Thanks for that babe. (He doesnt read this, lol)
If I had spent my whole life looking for what I longed for my parents as a kid, id be without Jeremiah and the two most wonderful kids on the planet.
Parents only want whats best for their kids. Mine did it. They didnt always agree it was right, and it wasn't always pretty, but we were always first.
Im thankful for that "broken family" because it gave me a dose of reality some people never get. And it made me realize you have to find the perfect imperfect person.
There is always a silver lining, you just have to stop letting the negative in and it will show. <3
On a side note.
Kamiah's feet get hot when she sleeps. Tonight the crazy 3 yr old whined because she wanted me to blow on them....uhh. no. This is how she fell asleep.....
