Day 182 of Keeping the Spirit: Most of us have issues with our families in which we struggle to understand them. Yet at moments we struggle to find enough room in our heart for all the love they bring us. It is a quilt of complexity that is stitched with memories and events that tie us all together. It has mismatched patches of personalities that provide a crayon box of colors that may not match but definitely belong together. The quilt has holes in it where it has been worn thin, and places where patch squares have fallen to threads and disintegrated into the past. New squares sewn in with new colors of thread stitched around the edge. Stains where hot chocolate and wine shared space while helping to provide comfort to anyone in need of warmth and comfort. That is what our families are. They are a crazy quilt of people and memories that make us all wonder what we would do without their color and comfort.
