Family
Family is truly the one thing we can count on in life. They will accept us for all the great things we do, and also when we do things that are not so great. Their love and support are unconditional and will get us through even the most difficult times in our lives.
Throughout our life we travel many paths and along the way we will meet people who become important to us for many reasons. When we become a part of their lives we sometimes separate ourselves from family initially, but eventually we move back to our family circle. If the people we meet are truly a good part of our life, then they will enhance it and encourage a good family connection and be a part of that. They should never make us feel we have to choose between them and family. If they do we need to ask ourselves why.
I guess the following are the things I have learned about family over the years:
1. They love you unconditionally, even when they do not agree with choices you make.
2. Nobody knows you better - warts and all.
3. They have your best interests at heart and want to see you succeed.
4. They are always there for you no matter how difficult a problem you run into in life.
5. They will always forgive you.
6. Even if we feel ashamed, or think they are angry we still need to communicate with them.
7. A phone call from family will brighten your day.
8. Siblings are some of the best friends you will have.
9. Years and years of memories to share.
10. Holidays are not the same without them.
Things may not always be a smooth ride - we all know family does not always get along. In the end though they are the ones we can turn to and the ones who will make us smile at the end of a hard day.
