I have a tendency to "adopt" close friends and think of them as surrogate siblings.
My extended family is large and wide spread, geographically as well as personality wise: from Cowgirls and Goofballs, to MasterBrains and Humanitarians, to Angels and Chocolate Goddesses =D
The common denominator is the goodness and strength in these people's hearts.
Meet my friend and "brother" Allan:
Happy Sunday, everyone - and special congratulations to Holly, and to Steve (-slj) on their respective engagements. Blessings and hugs to you.
xoxo
