My Family Album


The tricky situation of my "family album"

On the right hand side of the photo their is the Grace family and on the left hand side their is the Pitsilos family and in the middle, their is the Hoggs. 

The grace family, is my ex girlfriends family. people would normally say thats weird being apart of your ex girlfriends family, but really its not. Life is weird and what is "normal"? 
The reason we are so close is because I used to live with them for 5 years. Kate (my ex girlfriend) is like a sister to me, we together for 6 years. having that history together is not just something you can throw away. We have grown up together. We shared our ups and downs, sad and good times.
The things the grace family has done for me I will never be able to repay them, they are some of the most lovely people iv ever met.

The Pitsilos family is my girl friend Andreas family, they have been kind enough to take me under their wing for a while. Its not official they have done this, but I stay at their house almost every night. I can thank them enough. It is only very temporary why I have been staying, because at my house their is no internet or computers.
I come along to all their family get togethers and gathers to celebrate the greek traditions they share and practice. Some of the time I can help but feel a sense of sadness and happy at the same time. I feel this way because I can see the closeness they all share, I see how lucky they all are to have one another close by. So in other words i'm jealous, because their family has something my family might never have.

My true blood related family is the Hoggs, we have been split and and moved all across the planet through no fault of our own. We love each other like nothing before but our lives are so busy and in different places we unable to see each other. Its completely impossible just to drop everything to see one another. The things I would do just to see my family all together again.
We have photos of us all together but the angle I was hoping for more recent photos of us together.
 Most of the time we get to see each other is photos through some else's experiences. Mainly via Skype or Facebook.
