“What was I thinking?” may be what I ask myself after this show! But hey, you only live once and it sounded like a great idea when I conceived it! I did consider changing the iTunes ratings from E for Everyone or F for Family to…I don’t know…Explicit, Dysfunctional…DISASTER, perhaps! But I am all about faith in a higher court so I am going to just let it all play out and put it out there—my family and all!You see, we’re not normal—I mean we ARE NOT NORMAL! But then I started thinking, “Is any family NORMAL?” Probably not. We are kind of like a trifecta version of the “Dynamic Duo,” … I would say were the “Tremendous Trio” of sorts. I didn’t pick “terrific” because tremendous is more far reaching to accommodate all of our unusual qualities—and they are not all terrific I might add…but they are US.We are a story. As each of you are. Ours is a journey of togetherness. A mom that loved deeply (and lost—or was left—is more accurate of a description!) and was left to raise us in “tremendously” unideal circumstances and did one “tremendous” job. A brother that was a “tremendous” pain in the rear as a brother should be and I was the equally “tremendously” pain in the sass sister making me perfectly normal. But what is important is when it mattered, we showed in stellar fashion for one another. It was always the three of us. Whoever came. Whoever left. The Tremendous Trio was left intact, unfaltered, unwavered—stronger than super glue, larger than life. This bond was something I could always count on and a safe haven I am so grateful to have.No, family doesn’t have to be blood related or a piece of paper that says you are legally connected. I am not one that buys into the verbatim and exact definition of family; “A group consisting of parents and children living together in a household...A group of people related to one another by blood or marriage.” Let it be known that I believe your family just has to be “your people.” And, well—these two are some of mine.Life wasn’t always easy—but it was always good—and full of love. It was always moving in the right direction and it was always founded on the right stuff—respect, positive intention, and giving each other a good old-fashioned reality check if and when needed. Perfection is overrated. We’ve definitely learned some things along the way. One thing is for sure, we’re certainly folks that keep it real! We laugh, we swear (hopefully not on air), we argue, and we make amends—but we also know how to spread joy and filter unwavering love to our own kids. This is who we are and this is what we do. And we’re coming together on Aging GreatFULLy to share a few secrets of our life, how we Age GreatFULLy, reveal some of our interesting journey and what we’ve learned along the way with YOU!
