Family

Sometimes I wonder if I want to be on Facebook.  Is it worth it I ask?  Do I really need to share this information with others and do I need to see their information?  But it is a thing of the times and it helps to connect with others, so I am on Facebook.  Today when I was scrolling through my news feed I saw an obituary.  A friend had posted the obituary that she had written for a dear friend of hers and my beloveds, who passed 5 years ago.  I only had the opportunity to meet him a few times, however, I was present at the family gatherings after his passing. These gatherings were my introduction to a large family group.  This was a chosen family, not one in which you were born, but one you choose to be a part of.  I have now been a part of this family for 5 years and am filled with love and joy at being embraced and accepted.  My birth family lives in Minnesota and I live in Arizona, so I feel truly blessed to be a part of this wonderful group of loving beings.   My Wonder Filled Moment was remembering the transition of a human soul that brought me to meet this large extended family.
