I'm Not Who I Was

[mommyjen2]

I am slowly realizing who my family is.  My family being the people I grew up with (my mom, two brothers and twin sister).  My sister has become a person that I admire so much.  Although we don't agree on everything, we have learned that it is OK to disagree.  She has come through for me in times where I have really needed her.  Right now she is the only one of the four I have left.  My mother and two brothers are people I don't even know.  I am seeing them in a light I never knew existed.  The question is, have they always been this way and I am just now seeing it or is this something new.  Regardless, I am surprised by who they are today.  I am hurt yet at the same time I am not who I was so I remain strong.  I will not let this bring me down.  I have an amazing family in my husband and three kids.  I am a lucky woman.  I send this out to them.  I am not who I was.
