Family

Family...

Your family is supposed to be there to support you. They are the people that you can trust to stand by you regardless of what happens in your life. While they are typically people that your are related to by blood or marriage, it is not always the case. I know that I conceder Cameron part of my family. After 22 years he is like a brother to me. I know that he will always be there for Jen and my self. That no matter what goes down between us it won't drive us apart. At least not for long.

I have never been that close to my family. Father, Mother and Sister, I have never felt a strong bond to them. Maybe it's because my mother and sister split when I was a teenage. My Dad worked constantly. I don't hold it against him, he did what he needed to do. But it still did not promote a strong bond. I had thought when I married Jen I had found a family I could fit into. One that was strong, and closely bonded.

Mothers: A mother is supposed to be there to support you, to comfort you. Your mother doesn't side between her children, her love is unconditional.

Fathers: A father is there for support, he helps when there is need. He provides and protects the children from harm. It is the role that he has taken upon him self.

Siblings: Your sibling is there to help you and guide you. If you are the older sibling it is your job to guide and protect your other. If you are the younger you are there to help and annoy the older. Though siblings don't always get along, they are always there for each other.

Spouse; When you marry you agree to share your life with another. For good or ill. They become a part of you, to share your pain. Your love is supposed to be unconditional, and forgiving.

Not sure why I wrote this, but I have so there!
