Grateful for my family

Thanks for coming back to visit me on day three of my challenge.

If you have been reading my blog since October 1 you already know I am sharing one thing I am grateful every day.

Today its about being grateful for my family. Especially my mom and dad and my brothers and my sisters.

This picture was taken July 2016. I will cherish this memory forever.  Last picture as a complete family with my dad and one of my brothers as they are both reunited together in Heaven. My dad passed Sept 2016 and my brother May 2017. 

My family is also encouraging me to keep doing what I love! They are very supportive in so many ways.

Decided today to make day three of the challenge more personal and just make it about my family.

If you want to catch up on why I am doing this challenge you can read the post on October 1

Thanks for stopping by.
Make it a creative day!
