It hasn't always been easy for Alex to be a member of our extended family. He came a few years after the fact.....and after the novelty of the new little cute guy in town wore off....he was sometimes just this annoying little kid. He often wore that title well.
I was thrilled that besides having our family at Dome to support him.....he also had his cousin. We were thrilled to spend some time in her beautiful company and though he's a little too awkward to say it, Alex was thankful that she took the time to be there for him.
Everyone arrives at their own truth in life. One of mine.....one of the things that I am sure of.... is the importance of being there for the people who are part of you. Time spent supporting your family and friends is never, ever wasted.
“The fact is, there is no foundation, no secure ground, upon which people may stand today if it isn’t the family. If you don’t have the support and love and caring and concern that you get from a family, you don’t have much at all. Love is so supremely important. As our great poet Auden said, ‘Love each other or perish’.”
― Mitch Albom
