Friends are the family we choose for ourselves

A bit cheesy, but so true. Last week, I ran into my neighbour and was chatting to him about C. He was so pleased and happy for me and of course wants to meet him - it really touched me. And I was thinking that this is the kind of relationship I would have wanted with my parents. And while it makes me sad, that things are the way they are, it also makes me very happy to have wonderful people in my life who care. I've said this many times, but I am just so grateful. And happy that I let these people into my life and that I learned to be less judgmental and more open which has let so much love into my life.
