Family

I love my family. My family is my backbone. My favorite people. The only people on this world that I love unconditionally. I don't know what I would do without them. I recently started thinking about them so much because one of my roommates, Tessa, found out a few days ago that her mother has Colon Cancer. Another one of my roommates Mother died from cancer when she was only 11. The simple thought of this scares me so much. The thought of a member of my family having cancer scares me to death. It made me stop and think about how much my roommate, Carissa, had to go through when she was 11. And I can't imagine what Tessa must be going through right now and how scared she must be.

God has truly blessed me with a healthy family. My Grandpa died when I was about 4, but I barely remember him when he was alive. Since then, no one in my immediate family has died or had any major sicknesses. I am very blessed, but this fact scares me cause it will only be a matter of time before someone gets sick.

I guess I need to realize that, things like that are going to happy, but I need to not be scared and just live in the moment. I watched the movie "The Family Stone" last night and I cannot wait until Christmas break. I'm ready to realize and spend time with my entire family. I love my family.
