Family is anyone that you choose to bring into your circle. Blood kind can often be your very worst nightmare -- trust me.

Surround yourself with positive, upbeat people who have a heart. Say a prayer for your sister & her rude daughter, but don't feel obligated to put up with their insensitivity issues. You can love them, but not like their actions.

Please don't waste precious time trying to mend a seam with very loose thread, that keeps coming apart.

Your immediate family is all that is important.
