So, it's getting to that point in my life that I note that I haven't started my own nuclear family. I'm knocking on the birthday door in a few months and will be pushing that big 4-0. While I've never been to disconcerted with age, I think that I will begin to assess things...again.
Mom and Dad are doing ok. And, I'm really grateful that despite their hardships, they still maintain a positive outlook on things. Heard that dad is going to be heading back to Weslaco for a bit of work. Though I'm not thrilled at the prospect of him stressing out, it is his choice and burden to take. I know that I'll be pretty stubborn when I get to be that age so I have things to look forward to. Wish I could help them out a bit more than I could.
The newest nephew finally went home yesterday. Bit of a scare when he was born a premie last month, but all seems well. Need to catch up with the nephew and neices. Time goes by so quickly. My sister is now 24, as I recalled when I saw the 20th anniversary for the Sonic game that I saw in Gamestop the other day!
I have an extended family here in San Antonio. My family here has been forged from years of friendship. Jen and Chris take care of me. John and Beth's family love me beyond words. When we sit down for dinner, we pray and thank God for our blessings.
So, I may not have that significant other every night. But, I don't have to rent a wife. There's plenty of love and kids around....and I'm just fine.
