Many of our best friends are the people we have met either at school or at work ...
Through our spouses or at functions such as weddings, birthdays etc. ...
But we also have family members whether they be our grandma, grandpa, mother, father, brother, sister, aunt or uncle
Who we also consider to be our best friends!

Then of course as time goes by our family tree grows and we welcome yet a whole new branch to our tree of friends ...

These additions make my heart sing!

The beauty of family is that we will forever blossom and grow much like a tree whose branches reach out to the sun for nurturing ...
And it's roots are firmly planted to remain strong and sturdy.

We as a family are much like a tree ...
We reach out our arms to embrace and welcome each new addition to our ever growing family!

We are there for one another, offering love, support, caring and compassion ...
In the very same way a best friend would!

And because FAMILY is so important
I just wanted you to know that my world is your world
and that my door is always open ...

Whenever you feel troubled and not sure where to turn

No matter where you are ...
No matter the time of day ...
Always be assured that I am here
Along with every other family member too!!

We are not just related,
we have become the best of friends ...
And that is what brings a smile to my face,
Puts a song in my heart,
And makes me want to dance ...

So let's dedicate
THIS DAY
and
EVERY DAY
As the time to celebrate
OUR FAMILY TREE OF FRIENDS!!!
