Friday already???  The week flew by for me – mostly because I was under the weather and resting for three days thanks to a stomach bug. Ugh.

So here I am hunting down a quote that speaks to me, flipping through the pages of a large book of quotations my Mum gifted me a few years ago.

And here we have it. The one that stood out to me immediately:

In 1992, Barbara Bush said,

“To us, family means putting your arms around each other and being there.”

My immediate thought when I read this? I melted and thought of all of the people who have come together because of our shared illness.  Not just the EndoSisters, but our support systems, too.

Recently, we had a BBQ for our support. Our friends, our family, our loved ones.  A way of honoring them.  And it was beautiful to sit back, sip on a glass of sangria, and just watch everyone get to know each other, share stories, hug, cry.  Strangers…all woven together in this large family.

We may not be blood, but we are absolutely family.

I love you, guys and gals.  Have a wonderful weekend.  ~Lisa
