To me family will forever and always be everything!
My moms Dad is Italian and him and his wife had 7 children, and now they have 29 grandkids and 20 great grandkids!! I was raised by my grandparents to love your cousins as your bests friends and your siblings so my family is everything to me! We are always having family parties to celebrate some one or a holiday. My favorite family tradition is that's every Sunday since before I was born there is a weekly Sunday morning breakfast at my grandparents house and my Papa cooks breakfast for my family!
My Dad died of HD, the same awful disease that I fight every single day! HD is a genetic disorder and if you have HD then you have a 50/50 chance of passing it on to your children, so my Dad, his Dad, and eight out of the 11 kids have HD!
Ne I have been diagnosed both sides of my family have shown me that they remember to love, accept, and support me for being me and they are my biggest supporters and show their love at the Team Hope Walks!
I don't know where I would be without family!!!
Thanks for reading,
