“Blood is Thicker than Water”…..never have more untrue words been spoken! I’ve learned that solid, honest, supportive, consistent friends are your true family….. They’re the family you choose!

I attended a meet-up with my HS group today. Many shared their personal experiences and stories. Most times I participate, but appreciated just listening today. It really is helpful being reminded that you’re not alone.

Most valuable to me though, was having my beautiful sister, Lydia, listen in with me on our video call since she was unable to log in. Her support and determination to share this part of my life with me today, touched me to the point of tears.😭 This woman has proven to be an encouragement and source of strength to me in so many ways! Our 20+yr friendship continues to grow stronger and more sure, as we keep Jehovah as our individual anchor and the sure foundation of our bond. I’m truly blessed!
