Being adopted, and an only child growing up watching the Walton's, and Little House on the Prairie, I've always wanted to be a part of a big family. Also as i got older and watched The Godfather, seeing how close knit they all were (altho criminals lol) made me want even more for my family to start anew, be different from what i had. Be close, no matter what. Realize that your family is the most important thing in life. Knowing you have them to count on, to love you, to be there for you... no matter what, no matter how imperfect, or how dysfunctional. I don't know my blood family, I have two half sisters out there somewhere whom i have never met. Wouldn't even know them if they came up to me and slapped me in the face. My 3 children are all I have. I want them to realize how important they are, to me, and to each other. When I'm gone, they will have to count on each other. I've been the matriarch, I've kept it together for all of them. It's time to pass the torch.
