They aren't always perfect, no you didn't pick them, yes they drive you insane at moments but they tend to understand you, or at least be willing to listen. They are the only one you have...family. Growing up my sister, mother, father and I never got along. No I'm not forgetting my brother, him and I did get along. Or at least we got each other. Moving out was the best thing that happened to me, my sister, my father and my mother. Living together was a nightmare. My parents needed to see me as an adult and my sister needed to get away from my clothes and jewelry. LOL But now we all have a great relationship! I really couldn't be any happier with how great it is. I can call any one of them and tell them exactly whats bothering me at any time of day or night. That actually goes for pretty much every single one of my aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, etc... Of course I'm calling my family perfect. There are disagreements and not everyone gets along but personally I don't have any issues with any of them. Maybe I'm not one to speak out too much against others choices but thats because I'm all about making mistakes too. My biggest problem I have with my family is the distance between us, and yes I caused it. But at least its only physical, not emotional. I'm very blessed to have a job that affords me the ability to go home and see people whenever possible. I'm looking forward to coming home this month (although I'm not totally sure on the dates yet).
Who you end up with...that man or woman, now that is definitely not a portion of family that you pick. Its my personal belief that you can't help who you fall in love with. Some people I can look back and wonder what I saw in them anyways...but thats another story for another blog. Hopefully I end up with decent family in-laws. People I can tolerate at least and vice versa. After all I'm easy to deal with ;)
Thank you to everyone in my life who I have the ability to call and unload my worries, concerns, happiness, sadness, strengths, weaknesses, and wisdom on!! :) xxo
