This is the face I got to see walking toward me for a hug at the end of my day. After all that time at work, she put a huge smile on my face. I openly admit, Gabreella has a bit more of her Aunt Sarah's heart every time I see her. After the hug, I picked her up into my arms and kept turning her upside down which I was richly rewarded for with grins and giggles.
Having dinner together, parents, siblings, and Gabee was so much fun. Family stuff used to leave me upset for days but now I have come to really enjoy it. It's nice to know people are there who love me and who will be there for me no matter what. And believe me, we have been through the no matter what part and have come out stronger and better for it. Tonight as I thought about it, I realized it's not so much them who's changed, it's me. I'm no longer trying to prove myself, I'm much more confident, and I have a place in the group. We also have enough history behind us now, that we can just be a family. It's a gift I am very grateful for tonight.
