Day 7: (A day late....) Family is Important

Remember how I spoke about relationships? Well, they are equally important within families. Recently, I've been overwhelmed with some things going on in my family. Not knowing why things are happening is an extremely scary - not knowing what is going to happen is even more scary. I say this only to say that I know it'll be ok. As in all families we deal with things every day - we go through things every day and still find a way to make it through things. {please note that this is not to worry you - just to bring into light that it can happen at any time.}

In any case, during these rough times it's essential to keep your family close. They are all you have. In the end, it won't matter who you worked for, how many hours you logged at work, who you partied with, and what you spent your money on if you have no one. I have known many people who don't have their family - and honestly, I must say that they do not seem to have the type of backing they need. I don't know what I would do without the support of our families.

Bottom line - appreciate your family - because you never know what will happen. One of my friend's mom's just died recently, I am so very sad for her - I cannot even imagine. I remember when I was 12 and my mom was so sick, I thought she was not going to make it - and I was so scared. Living without those you love is so difficult - so as you struggle with unruly teens, digressing parents, and other various issues at hand - be grateful for what you have. I absolutely love my family more than ever.

hug those babies tight - give your family a call - repair relationships - love your family.

With love always,
Lida
