Come and meet them. They are a good group -- this "family"
inclusive of family and friends. The pictures
will be a bit slow in surfacing... but they will surface.
Look beyond the "words" and meet the people I love best
in life.
Family. Husband, children, friends, dogs and a cat. The
single most important entities in my life. Without them, I am,
as if nothing -- adrift if you will. Oh, I exist. I
maintain. I live and breath. But, oh, how much sweeter
is the existence due to those whom I love best
in life. I know I am loved, as much, if not more than,
I love my family -- even the two dogs and my cat, Homer.
Life would be very lonely without what I jokingly refer to
as "The Fam". "My" fam.
Home's not merely four square walls,
Though with pictures hung and gilded;
Home is where Affection calls --
Filled with shrines the Hearth had builded!
Home! Go watch the faithful dove,
Sailing 'neath the heaven above us.
Home is where there's one to love!
Home is where there's one to love us.
Home's not merely roof and room,
It needs something to endear it;
Home is where the heart can bloom,
Where there's some kind lip to cheer it!
What is home with none to meet,
None to welcome, none to greet us?
Home is sweet, and only sweet,
Where there's one we love to meet us!

Links to my "family" will be forthcoming as they "arise" and as time permits.
Not for lack of the wanting to introduce you to my loved ones; only for the lack of time in getting everything done.
