RE: Being Home is the Best Medicine

I'm so glad I found this in this week's NM challenge wrap up! It's given me a different view of family and the importance of family. For me, my husband became my most important family, yet I always grew up being told how important the family you're born into is and it is. However, I never got to see that side of it, as much as I wanted it. I craved that support network, but apart from knowing they will be their for me financially if I need it, they couldn't be emotionally. My sister moved away as soon as she could, my husband and I moved from England to Australia.

Because my husband became more important to me than my parents, I guess I find it hard to see how it could be any different for anyone else. My daughter has recently started seeing someone and all I can think is that I am now not ever going to be very important to her. So to read that your family are still just as important to you gives me hope.

I'm so glad you have found your happiness and health again.
