Today is the official 2nd "Family Day". I don't know if the American's have adopted this day or not.
Today we will celebrate what is most important in my life. I am not a terribly religious person (much to my son's dismay) but I do love and honour my family. It is so important to be a supportive member because, like we have found, you never know when you will be on the other end. We have faced far too many challenges these past few years and none of it would have been possible without the love and support of our spectacular family.
It all started with my parents. They taught three girls how to love each other and forever be there for each other. We all moved on, married and had our own children. We have each taught our kids the same lessons.
The result is an amazingly strong, supportive net that you know you can count on when this world dishes out some very tough lessons. Somehow we know that no matter what happens we are loved and supported.
If in my lifetime I leave nothing behind but the legacy of a strong and loving family then my work here is worthwhile.
Today I send my love to my Mom, Cindy, Shelley, Nicholas, Matthew, Tyson, Kyle, Aeron, Lisette, Nicole, Jake and all of theirs.
May the legacy live long...Happy Family Day.

Happy Family Day! Haven't heard of it before but it's a great idea! We've known for forever what a strong family we have but we've certainly earned our stripes over the last few years, eh? Love you to the moon and back!!!
Our bonds with family and friends are all that really matters in our life. I'm glad your father and I taught you well!
