Family

I love my family dearly, both my moms and my dads. The two really couldn't be anymore opposite of each other. My mom has two sisters who are single on with a Lil girl, and then my grandmother who i hold so close to my heart. My dad is one of 9 (now 7) and they're the family that's also you're friend. We had a family reunion, which I was so late to, but I loved it so much. I love my cousins because we're all so completely different, I'm more shy and take a while to warm up to everyone which is silly but still, Robert and Tommy have such great stage presence and are amazing performers. Go New Kings! Craig is so relaxed I mean I have a ton of cousins but it's so nice to have all these people from such difference places and experiences converge.  Family really is what gets people going. I always and forever will remember the crazy multi-language parties at my uncle Tommy's house. Especially when it gets hot out like this, he's on my mind a lot. His son Tommy is my age and when you have this big Irish families you just melt together so no one ever wants to leave a party. I just rem. swimming for hours, and chasing the cats, and Tommy's Ayah talking to me (in Romanian?) and feeding me the best cookies and then pinching my cheeks. Those are the memories you never forget and make your heart swell and cry a little too. I really hope that my family can get back to a place like that and create memories like that soon, because often it seems we're all a little lost and time is short.


 I also want to give a big credit to my cousin-in-law, who I'm just calling my cousin from now on, RENEE PERNA. During the reunion she told me to start a blog because she thought my fb posts were funny. So this is all now dedicated to her.
