Family

Ah family, what is there to be said about family. Family means so much to me. They are my blood. They mean the world to me. Family is part of my life, that’s all there is to it. Without family, we would have nothing. Without family, we wouldn’t know where we came from, our origins. Granted even with family around, we don’t always get the full picture of our ancestors and how we came to be. But I don’t think that really matters, as long as we have some part of the picture, we are a-okay.

They say that blood is thicker than water. I mean technically it is, it’s not just a saying. It’s fact. But when that blood comes under fire, you have to go into it headfirst and see what’s going on. That’s what family does for each other. They’re there for each other no matter what.

Not every family gets along. Sometimes there are troubles that can’t be solved and rifts form and appear. It can be an unfortunate thing. But it is what it is, and there’s nothing that can be done about it. Both parties have to work hard at getting back together and making things right again. It takes a lot of time, energy, and effort to make things work out. Not impossible, just hard to do at times.

Keep your family close, you never know when you’ll lose a family member. Death can happen at anytime during a person’s life. Rarely there is any warning ahead of time, and if there is warning it is hell waiting for the inevitable to happen. However, sometimes death can bring a family closer together than thought possible. That’s not always the case of course, but sometimes you might be surprised.

So cherish your family while you can. It’s important to try and be with them as much as possible.
