One great big family

Posted on 1/28/2011 by Amy

We’ve had the pleasure of spending a lot of quality family time together this week; as an immediate family and also with the more extended family members as well.   This evening we were invited to spend some time with friends, whom I consider to be the “other” brother and sister in Dean’s family.   I always felt like they replaced us when we moved to Baltimore but when we moved back they stuck around too, and we all are just one big happy family!   It ended up being a fun filled evening, one our adopted dad would have been proud to have known took place.   In fact, one I know both our adopted dads are glad took place, Diaz and our Heavenly Father.    A funny thing happened this week, the family that was already brought together because of Diaz was truly united by his passing.    I can only hope we can continue to draw on one another and build community and family as time goes on, and more importantly, continue the legacy that was started, one life at a time.
