[quote=Anonymous]With so many posts about family dysfunctions (yes, I realize that's kind of the point of this particular topic area), I wanted to share how thankful I am for my family this year. My mom, although overbearing and oversensitive, does everything out of love and really just wants to be involved in my life. My brother is typically self-absorbed but made the effort to come visit with his wife and little girl for almost a whole week after Christmas. My in-laws have their quirks as well but are extremely generous, loving people, as are my siblings-in-law. DH works really hard to provide for our family both monetarily and in terms of quality time. DS is a blessing whom we tried very hard to conceive, so even though he is a terrible sleeper at 8 months, I am thankful for him every day. This really hit home over the weekend as mom and brother were in an accident on their way home from visiting us. Brother's car was totaled but both he and my mom are fine, although bruised and shaken. I need to remind myself that I should be thankful to have them in my life. I know this cannot be said for every family member in people's lives, but for me, this year, it is true.[/quote]
