"the book"

My family has always kept books of pictures of our family members and sometimes even like family friends.
My sisters and i started our own a few years ago. it's pretty beat up now, but it's our very own "book".
but anyway, we found it a few days ago after a few months of hiding and looked through it. It's amazing how much family is a part of you. I mean family was your true friends when you wre a kid, and they are a huge part of your likes, dislikes, and even personality.
maybe, i can steal the book away and scan some pictures in for you all to see.

so, I'd like for you all to sit and think about your family or, sadly, lack of family. I'd like you to think about who you are, and why.
