Memory

I love being home and spending time with my Mom and Dad. They are the best ever and are so awesome and I love them so much. I am the luckiest daughter on the planet. When my Mom was talking with my Uncle during fall break, she started telling the story of how my cousins were adopted. My Aunt adopted 4 children, 3 of which are biological sisters (adopted at the same time). I remembered this, of course - but what I had forgotten was that I was friends with my cousin before she came my cousin. Once my Mom started talking about it, I remembered being in first grade with her, and she would come over and have sleep overs at my house all the time, joking that my parents should adopt her, not really understanding what was going on at the time. Then, my Aunt decided to adopt her and make her part of our family, not knowing that I knew her beforehand. Small world, right?

I thought it this instance was notable because this detail is one that I forgot about my cousin, it has been a while since I told the story of how they were adopted. I had forgotten a most important detail until now, and I hopefully won't forget it again. My life would definitely not be the same without my cousins and I love them so much, and will never forget the memories we have together!

One of my favorite pictures of them :)

P.S. I didn't include names because I was not sure whether or not my family would be ok with me including their names.
