I am not sure where to begin with this night. How to explain without saying too much. I don't understand the way certain people's thought patterns evolve. How they come to a judgement about a situation without considering all aspects of it. The single-mindedness is almost unbelievable. At least, that is my perception. But if they were considering all sides...all factors...reasons and results, then how can they feel the way they do? Perhaps they aren't the kind of people they believe themselves to be.
Intelligence: 1 a (1) : the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying situations : REASON; also : the skilled use of reason (2) : the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one's environment or to think abstractly as measured by objective criteria (as tests) b Christian Science : the basic eternal quality of divine Mind c : mental acuteness
My brother-in-law did an amazing thing tonight, to me. He stood before us, with tears in his eyes (you would have to know him to understand. Very quiet and somewhat reserved. He holds his tongue so as to keep peace. I already had so much respect and love for my sister and brother-in-law, but tonight i think he increased it ten fold) And spoke of true respect, love and kindness. That is what I got from it. How important it is to have that and give that with those you love. How truly precious it is and how fleeting it could be. (I know this isn't what he said in so many words. It is just the message I received and translation from the actual words he spoke.) It is about giving without expectation of something in return. This is what our parents, in my family, do on a daily basis. Whatever you need, they will do their best to help in the way that they can. They are there for you regardless of past, present or future. And regardless of their own trials facing them.
Unconditional: 1 : not conditional or limited (simple, isn't it?)
I know I have had my difficulties. I have made some really bad choices in my lifetime thus far. I am sure I will make more. It has, however, brought me to a place where I understand the value, on a daily basis, of the people in my life. (I am a bit finger-tied here cause I am not sure how to explain my feeling.) All I can say is, my parents are the two most amazing people I have ever been blessed to know.
Miracle: 1 : an extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs
I can only hope...that "others" come to realize it too.

Hey you! I just want you to know that I love you. I wanted to thank you for your sweet words. You touched Mike and me. It is not often in this family we feel such love or acceptance by our siblings. I also want to say that I am glad our parents have you and I to remind them what wonderful parents and people they both are. I am blessed to have you as a sister! I love you and you are my favorite!! :)
XOXO
