When thinking about family crises I feel extremely grateful because I have not had any of the major crises that people generally think of. (death in the family or divorce is what first comes to my mind at least.)  Although I have not been through those major ones I think that in my life I have experienced little crises in my family here and there.  I think in accumulation they have made me who I am today and I really think that I have become stronger because of them.  I still have a lot more time when I might and probably will experience one of those major ones and I hope that I am sufficiently prepared to deal with the challenge in a positive way when it comes.
