we are family

l-r
Beth's family, Ruth's family, Deborah's family,
me
Andrew's family, Jonathan's family, Sarah's family
(not pictured-Beth's husband-he had to work)

knowing my children and their families

are living and ministering right where they need to be

does not stop the aching of my heart

or the tears from flowing down my cheeks

when I get to missing them like I did today

if we weren't so terrific together, 

it wouldn't be so hard to be apart!
