I have a family again

[xashcroftx]

tonight my cousin Charlie married a lovely girl named sophie. they were married in a little church in nashua, new hampshire, and the reception was held outside under a tent on the lawn of a nice hotel in westford, massachussetts. At the reception, it was a dream come true. my whole family, all my aunts and uncles and cousins were there, and we were all getting along. words cannot express the amount of love i felt today. for the first time in years i feel like i really have a family again. one that loves me, and enjoys my presence, and accepts me in all my inherent fucked upedness. even though it was the first time some of us had got together in as long as 8 years, we clicked immediately and bonded so well. the atmosphere brought out the best in us all, and ive never felt so loved, or so much a part of something. the best part of the night, was at the end. we were saying out goodbyes and Charlie and I were talking about how when we were younger My dad would always drive me and my brothers to Charlies house on christmas eve. My father and his father were really close, and charlie told me "it breaks my heart that we arent that close, and theres no reason for it. so, im putting a stop to it. when i get back, you and me are going to a sox game." i almost broke down crying when he told me that. i've never been this happy.
love,
