Ten days [six]

[simply]

Five people who mean a lot, in no particular order:

I’m going to cheat a little here and squeeze more people in than I’m supposed to because, while this is by no means an exhaustive list, I can’t keep it down to only five. So bear with me.

• The Carey women; you are absolutely my best friends, which is weird to some but the most normal thing in the world to us. I love that our relationship has no off switch.
• The boys; Dad, Nick, and Tain, you are big dorks and you make me laugh.
• Millie & Mitch & splotchesx2; I never expected it to be this cool.
• Annie, Bette, and Fran; my cousins and bffs. I’m honoured to know you.
• Staish; you are truly a gift of God, wrapped in the brightest ribbons.
• Ruthieroo; I still can’t believe we’re practically neighbours. It’s the best.
• Elizabeth, Ruth, & Miriam; you make my heart sing.
• Carla & Meaghan; always, you guys.
• Ainz & Kat; Creek Roadies unite!
• My grandparents; my heritage.
• My amazing aunts; I admire you ladies.
• The Childs; you know us that well and you still love us?
• Jane, Anna, Luke & Dan; climbin’ up the mountain, children, children.
• Abbie, Caitlin, Tegan, Rachel, & Cara; you model grace to me and are such faithful long-distance friends.
• Harri, Eb, Kandis, & Laurie; my western girls whom I still miss.
• My online peeps; you guys probably couldn’t possibly know how much I appreciate having you in my life, even if we’ve never met (but I hope we do).

And I would do the same. How can one possibly pick just 5? Impossible! :)

I love family like there's no tomorrow and I know some people think that's weird. That I actually choose to spend time with them and not move out and all that...

I recognize a few of those names you mentioned :)

Oh, it's just too hard!

I hear you! It's shocking to some people that others consider their family their best friends. But I'm so thankful for mine :).

I'm so thankful for mine too; with having my Dad and 2 of my brothers gone so much lately, I am really seeing how precious the time is we have together....
My family are my best friends, forever.
