I find that having loved ones around you can make any day one hundred percent better. It does not matter if your house has burnt down and your pet has died, one person holding you and reassuring you will make your day better to a bearable degree. Today, I was lucky enough to spend the day with five different people that I love.
My sister, Kristen. She and I don't share the same opinions and beliefs, but I respect her so much more than anyone else in my life. A large part of that respect is because she respects me. You get what you give! My niece, Emilee. She is not even two years old yet, but she is so smart and such an amazing little girl. My brother, James. He is honestly the best brother I could ask for. He would probably be surprised if he heard me say that, but it's true. He's caring and thoughtful and witty, and to be honest, he's my best friend. Vivian, the little girl I babysit. Her older sister is a year older than me and just moved to college this past year, and her parents just split. I think sometimes she needs someone to look up to. Finally, Eddie. He is the only friend who has stuck by me through everything I've been through since we met. I think we don't understand each other on a lot of levels, but on other levels, we understand each other completely. And he's a really great, funny, smart, amazing, wonderful person, no matter what anyone says.
To those who doesn't know these people personally, this may not mean much of anything. But to me, these people keep my world spinning fully and completely. They are the yin to my yang.
I could say more, but really, I'm tired from a great day. Happy Friday 13th!
