Weirdest looking herd quote from ICE AGE:
"Manny, Manny, Manny, you OK? Come on, come on, say something.
Anything. What? What? I can't hear you.
You're standing on my trunk.
- You're OK. You're OK. - Why did you do that?
You could have died, trying to save me.
That's what you do in a herd.
You look out for each other.
Well, thanks.
I don't know about you guys, but we are the weirdest herd I've ever seen."
A lot has happened in recent dayz and since I have been emotional any way I keep thinking about family and friends. My only family that on both sides is supposed to be huge yet I have never known for reasons I will never understand. But ever since I have become a Christian the church has become a family to me.... Even the family I left behind in da Bronx they are still my church family. Once Angel and I got married now 10 years ago we have always made it a point to say we are a family the two of us; and even when we realized that would be our fate it did not change that we are a family. A family that seems to pick up strays like us along the way. Angel and I seem to like the idea that God uses us to bless others as the Lord has blessed us. Especially since we have been out here in Philadelphia we see how God has given us some diamonds in the rough that are precious to us so very precious.
We are adoptive grandparents to some 5 wonderful kids but especially the boyz we spend so much time with; that bring such joy to our hearts. Their parents and real abuelita let us in to that family and it was that love that made us a herd. I always say we don't always like each other but we do love each other. It is hard because we all go through changes, teens become adults, children become parents and life goes on.
Being in Chronic pain and dealing with life; the hardest for me has been being medicated, in pain and having the worst of it come my way but still trying to remind each of them no matter how much it hurts that I love them because they are my family.
One of my favorite websites for quotes http://thinkexist.com/quotes/like/family_means_too_much-friends_are_too_valuable/327803/
“Family means too much, Friends are too valuable, And life is too short, To put-off sharing with people, How much they really mean to you, And pursuing whatever it is that makes you happy.”
I believe it is so true! Even my brother Anthony who is my blood would agree that we have made a family not as our families would expect but how God intended. I know I can't always be perfect but I try to lean on the Love of the Lord to keep me going. I realized that the more I love, the more I trust the more vulnerable I become but I am not going to stop loving now because of my past. I feel that I will miss out on so much. Plus, I want to be the Woman of God, God desires me to be, to be the Noble woman of Proverbs 31 not just for me but for my family. No matter how difficult we are to explain, no matter what storms we go through I can only pray we come out stronger and wiser on the other side of things.
So on my worst days and on my best dayz to my herd that remains steady and those that come and go here is to you my Bruno's, Rhodes, Rodriguez Clan, Robinsons, Anthony & his tribe, my Pagan familia, Devos, Arroyo's, Rivera's y Montes and to my Sistah's who ride with me for life and those that have come when was most needed to you I say thank you for life is short and none of us can do it alone. THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE FOR I WOULD NOT BE THE WOMAN I AM TODAY WITHOUT YOUR PRAYERS AND ENCOURAGEMENT. TOGETHER HAS MADE A DIFFERENCE.......................Thank you God for my herd!
