Families......they are there from the time that you are born until you die.  When you need people to talk to you have family around that will listen and not judge, they will be there to give advice and accept you no matter what you do.  They will also never give up.  There will be times in everyone's life that they go down the wrong path and they will need all the help they can get.  But ultimately it is up to them if they take the advice or let it go through one ear and out the other.  People on the outside never know what is going on in a family that they don't have an everyday connection with.

This is my family! We are missing on important person my nephew, Charles.  I wish we lived closer so that we could hang out more because we have all changed.  It has been years since we all lived in a house together.

This is a picture of me and my cousin, Dianna Drollette.  You can tell that we are related and we have also not seen each other since my older brothers wedding which was 6 years ago.  When you don't live in the same state it is hard to find time to be able to see each other.  We all get busy but we need to set time aside to be able to get to know each other.

A picture of me and my Grandma Tincher, my dads mom.  I haven't had a picture taken with her since I was about 10 or so give or take a couple of years.  I love my Grandma but wish that we were closer.

Here are two pictures of the Heiner side of my family.  The first one is of us girls who are all related, we each have different last names but because of the Heiner's we are related and close.  The second one is of those who were at the reunion a couple of weeks ago.  If you count everyone that is a Heiner we are at about 100 people, only a fourth was able to come to the reunion.  It is so cool to have that big of a family and still find time to get together.

Families are to be together forever.  We may get on each other's nerves sometimes and fight a lot but we still love each other and respect everyone.  There has never been a time when I have wished that I have had a different family.  We are brought to this earth to our families because there is a purpose we are suppose to fulfill.
