Family dinner

My entire family hasn't gathered together since 2009 and we're finally all together on this whirlwind of a summer tour that started with my graduation. It's these moments that are so crucial in my life that remind me of where I come from and what a great foundation I was built from.

The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together.  - Erma Bombeck
