This christmas/b-day was really special for me. It was the first time in nearly 8 years, that I have seen my whole family
....
I was in Child Protective Services, due to problems at home, and I was seperated from my 4 brothers and sisters. But now that I have aged out of the system, I had the chance to have christmas and my birthday with my WHOLE family by my side.
....
I cried so hard today, because it was the best present of all. My family. We all sat down, unwrapped gifts, took pictures, and ate christmas dinner today for the first time in what seems forever.
....
This christmas has taught me to ALWAYS be thankful for your family, and to NEVER take anything you have for granted =]
