Strong Love...Strong Family

Alexandra's Thoughts on Family...
You know those moments when you and your family are laughing? Not just cuckling, but full on tummy holding, side aching, tears running laugh. After a while you have no idea what cracked you up in the first place. It is these moments when your family love is strong, and you never want it to end. Then there are the moments when a loved one's hurtful words slash throught the silence, opening old wounds or creating new ones. It is then where the family is tested and it takes a strong, loving relationship to pull through. Being part of a family that is kind, loving (and sometimes frustrating,) I have encountered these moments and realized that they make our love for eachother that much stronger.
