Been AFK for a bit - perusing the messages here reminds me
that I need to take a stronger point in staying close to
my siblings... We have grown apart, somewhat, over the
years. I'm a Christian - most of them are not. One is,
but doesn't have the fruit that she should; others are
either agnostic or believe in blatant anti Christian
things...

So, Christian friends and my home church have become
my family... But I need to actively reach out more
to my blood kin...

And I'm a dad - two boys, who have a boy of their
own, so I'm a grand dad too. :-) One calls me POPS
and the other Pop. :-)

We never had a daughter, but we have a VERY very close
friend who had a 'less than ideal' husband, so I became
a father figure to the two girls, though I didn't really
realize it at the time. One has gone her way and doesn't
have much to do with anyone, but the other still lives
with her mom and I refer to her as my 'daughter.' :-)

I've since grown close to a couple of young ladies at
the schools where I work, and I've started referring to
them as my grand-daughters. :-)
