Family importance

I value and appreciate my family so much and think that family values and traditions you pass down to generations are so important . My mother and father who both passed away years ago said no matter what you have you must defend your family . They will always be there for you no matter what you go through. They were so right . I want to share my family - I have so many cousins I can't even remember their names ,especially in Spain where my mother is from.
My father's side of the family was French and everyone says I have the looks of the French side and the personality "Ce La vie" .
My sister and I did not get along to well when we were teenagers especially when I went away to college. We are like night and day . But after my parents died she is like part of my oxygen which I breath event though we are both busy with work and she travels a lot we seemed to almost talk at least every other day.
My children are the miracles of my life. I had complications at childbirth undiagnosed twins. Now I" m so proud of them and what great adults they have become . My son lives is New York and graduated with a finance business degree and my daughter lives near me and graduated with a psychology and criminal justice degree.
My husband, what can I say to be married to me with all my interests and going off in so many directions and volunteering in so many organizations and thinking I can save the world all by my self and yet he never says no . He is by my side every step of the way no matter how difficult or crazy my idea is and is always doing anything he can to support me . This pageant being just one of the many projects. Thank you all for loving me just the way I am.
