Day 21: Won The Lottery

I try to spend every Sunday afternoon with my family and whenever I leave the house my parents have lived in since 1958, I always have the same thought: I won the lottery when it comes to families. My parents are still happily married after almost 54 years and my sister is my best friend. Their love for me is unconditional and constant. This week I heard about a mother who deserted her children for 10 years and the aftermath of that desertion. I haven't been the perfect daughter but through the years, I never once feared my parents would not be there for me. I can't imagine the kind of person I would be without them and I thank God every day for them.
