Something to think about

My family has never been the closest family, and it seems that everyone in it is just out for themselves. This saddens me greatly, because to me my family is  all I have. I could never imagine treating my children as my mom sometimes treats me and I could never imagine my children treating each other as my sisters treat each other.

So how does a family stay close?

This is something I have been working on since I had my first son. Every family will go through hard times it is inevitable, but how we chose to handle those hard time is what makes or breaks us as a family. I have my faults I know I do, I am the first one to admit I am not perfect. But no person that has family should have to feel the way I have felt.

So with my hurt comes my dedication to keep my family, the family that I have created, close. I struggle to make sure that we stay open to every conversation, communicates no matter what, and every feeling is okay to express, no one person is better than the next, and you are free to feel how you want.

We should be free to be who we need to be. 
BUT
Recognize when you have hurt someone and make it right.
