That's a very good sentiment.  I think we all have just had one of
those bad
days.  I blame the weather.  If we all remember that we love
bunnies, and
that's why we're here, and that deep down, there's nothing really
at the
heart of all the fuss today, that when we all wake up tomorrow,
the day will
feel different and the list will be back to being a tad happier.
(And if
you can follow that, you get an extra craisin.  Somewhere, the
comma fairy
dropped her bag!)  All families have a day when it all falls apart
and they
yell at each other for one reason or another.  "You left your
socks on the
floor!"  "Well, you put the toothpaste on the left side of the
sink instead
of the right side!"   "Can't you shut the cupboard door?"  I think
we just
had one of those days.  As a whole, our little (big?) family has
had a lot
of stress.  We've got family members sick (too many to list).
We've got
family members who have chronic problems that flare up
(unfortunately also a
long list).  We've got extended family members who have passed
recently
(children, father in laws, bunnies, hammies, and birdies, and
others I may
have forgotten).  We have friends and family pregnant who we worry
over.  We
have babies and toddlers that keep us on our toes or up all night.
We have
little and big buns that we worry over.  We have parents and
grandparents
that we pray about daily.  Husbands, Mothers, Daughters, Brothers,
Wives,
Sisters, Fathers, Sons, Grandparents, Grandchildren, Adopteds,
Extendeds,
Fiance(e)s, and all manner of friends.  We have more on our minds
than any
one of us can possibly handle.  And for a few hours today, we all
forgot
something important.  We all forgot the most important thing of
all--we're
not meant to handle it alone.  We're meant to stand together, hand
in hand
with the person next to us.  That person is a member of our
adopted family.
They're not the most beautiful or the most popular or a perfect
person.
They have flaws and faults and do things wrong.  They annoy you
and leave
messes and borrow your stuff without asking and leave it dirty and
in the
wrong place when they return it.  But they're always there.  And
they always
will be.  And that's what makes it special.  We're not going to go
away just
because you have a bad day.  We're not going to go away just
because you
yell at us or left us with a mess or made us worry about you.
We're going
to pick you off the ground again and mud and all pull you into the
biggest
hug just when you need it because we're your family.  And don't
you dare
forget it.
