FAMILY: Fun - Acceptance- Memories - Individuality - Love - You
Treasured memories begin with family,
Nothing on this planet can replace the special moments you create with your family
Memories to cherish,
Moments to remember,
Times to reminisce,
Moments to laugh about
And certain things to cry about
Whatever the case may be
One thing is for sure…
You will always have your family
Right by your side,
To have and to hold,
To love and to hug,
To have someone who cares to say, “Its OK we’re going to get through this together”
Even when times get tough I know my dog Pudgy is always there for me
He knows when I’m sad you see
He has become a part of our family
And when I’m sad, he cuddles by my side
And when I’m happy he is joyful and full of glee
You see,
I may be only eight,
But I am smart as a fox,
And quick as a whip,
And I know what the word family really means,
But, not everyone knows what it really means
So, I am here to tell you…
F is for …
v Fun: Forever having fun with the people and pets, you love
A is for …
v Acceptance: Accepting your love ones for who they are and not what they should be…that’s includes your pets too…
M is for …
v Memories: Making memories to remember that will be cherished forever….
I is for …
v Individuality: Everyone is different in their own way, but they all have one thing in common the love they feel for each other.
L is for …
v Love: To love everyone unconditionally
Y is for …
v You: Make sure YOU love and appreciate everyone or any animal in your life by being kind, appreciative and giving back, what you receive.

I was thinking about you yesterday. Why? Because you are one of my favorite writers on the den. Sometimes we wait for a special message to come and it comes from a friend just in time. I am Italian and I was brought up from the old school. Family is family and you never leave your family out of an event. That includes cousins, aunts, uncles or other extended family. It's sometimes so sad in this new age way of thinking that my niece and others will not have my daughter stay with them because it is not a good time, even though it's grandma's 90th birthday. What is happening to our sense of family? My daughter had no place to stay so in order to keep the peace she just stayed home. Sometimes I get more comfort from my pets than I get from my family. It's a different world. We are not as open and trusting as we used to be. We hurt others and think nothing of it. I truly don't know how people survive today without the love and hugs we get from those cuddly creatures we call pets. They LOVE unconditionally. Family used to be that way - I afraid to say I loved your poem but it's not what is happening in American society today. My wife has a family that is at least partially old school. The rest is simply dysfunctional.
Peace, love and blessings,
