Sunday evening, Natalie invited me and my mom to have dinner with her family.

Natalie is the youngest in her somewhat large family.
There are six kids.
Only Tyler and Natalie live at home.

The entire Clark family is religious except for the middle daughter Cara. Other than that they're all extremely different from each other.  For example, they're all adopted, so none of them have the same race.

Natalie said Cara is the "black sheep" of the family because she left the religion, and about two years ago she came out.  Natalie said that because their family is so religious, they had a hard time accepting that at first, but their getting better.  Even though they don't agree with Cara's choice to live that lifestyle, they still love her.  I guess Cara even brought her girlfriend with her when she came for Thanksgiving.

It was fun getting to know the Clarks.
I loved how different they were.

I decided I might as well invite them all.

The Entire Clark Family,
Will you please try and make it to my funeral?  It will be near the end of December of this year.

R.S.V.P. to my mother.

Goodbye,
Caitlyn

P.S. The only time I ever wished I wasn't an only child, was when I was spent time with you and saw how much fun a big family could be.
