Family

Brenda and I were talking at work today (we talk every day we work together).  Her brother is looking for a job in the Phoenix area and wants to move there with his wife, two sons, her mother and her brother.  His ex-wife is moving to CO with his first born son.  So Brenda and her parents are going to miss the grandsons/nephews a lot.
We were comparing the finding a family.  We are always looking to expand our familial group with non related people.  And it looks like they may be doing a bit of that themselves.  She commented on the fact that family won't look like it did before, but it will be family.
We don't expect things to always stay the same.  We don't expect those in our group to always stay close by.  She just feels like her family got a double whammy at once.  And they did.  Not that it is all a done deal yet, but it looks like it will be.
So here is to looking for a group of people who want to be around and stand up and be part of our village.  We already consider Brenda part of our group.  And I think she considers us part of hers.
