I am so happy to have been blessed with our amazing family friends, the LaRusso family. Growing up, the LaRusso's had two kids, Adrianna was a year older than my sister, and Marina that was Graham's age, and for as long as I can remember, we have been great friends. I can't remember a Christmas or New Years that we DIDN'T do anything with them(should make for an interesting holiday this year...), and I cannot even tell you the number of times I've come home, to find either Aunt Gina or Uncle Craig...which I love!!
Our families have truly been through thick and thin, and I am so blessed to say that Uncle Craig, who works as a nurse, was the one to carry me into the first surgery that I can remember. The LaRusso's have always been considered an extended part of our family, and vice versa, so when Graham died, it was like they were loosing there own son, or their own brother. However, the whole grief process has brought us so much closer together! Growing up, Caroline and Adrianna always had each other, Graham and Marina had each other...and then there was me... Don't get me wrong, I am in NO WAY saying that loosing Graham was a GOOD thing, but ever since the funeral, which was the first time I saw Marina in the 5 days that Graham was in the hospital because she was at college, Marina and I have grown so much in our friendship, and in our sistership.
You may be asking, why be thankful or happy for them TODAY in particular? Well, today was a bit of an interesting day for our family...It turns out that the bar stools we had purchased got sent to our OLD house address, as well as a number of other things; school books, picture books, and I think maybe even a violin??(...DON'T ASK!!! We are a very strange and talented family...) Anyways, before we even KNEW that they had been delivered, Aunt Gina drove past our house, saw the address labels, and took them back to her house. So today, when we finally realized what was going on, my Mom called Aunt Gina, and it seemed like she knew more about what was going on then any of us did! A long story short, the UPS is picking them up from the LaRusso's house, and shipping them here, PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!
