finding family

i know my mom is my family. she's been amazing and wonderful and present. when i look at my friends, i feel like i have someone who is there for me. and i look into the eyes of my boyfriend, Alex. I know i have something special. I have someone who loves me, unconditionally. Someone who can be my lover, and my best friend. how often do you find that? i know that in my boyfriend i have also found family. a person who is always there for me. someone who has let me into their life. someone who can share anything with me and who i can share anything with. my friends, my boyfriend, my mom. people i could and would never let go. they are my family. i can be in my boyfriends eyes and know that i'm home. how precious is that feeling? some will never know the value in that, but i do. that amazing elation, the sense of love without requirement. it's something that has no price and i wouldn't give it up for anything.
