| Family |
Lets start by making it perfectly clear that I think I have a great family. For the most part we all get along with no problems. At one time we were not quiet so lucky. We had someone in our family that seemed to stir up a whole lot of trouble. I must admit that I always tried to give this person the benefit of the doubt. I believed them over my actual blood relative. I know now how big of a mistake that was. Although, I think that everyone in the family did the same thing at one time or another. Anywho, that person is no longer a part of our family and we have all learned from mistakes made.
What brings me to blog about this you ask? Well, in the past year I have come to realize just exactly how important family is. My Uncle has always been a big part of my life. He was a disciplinary figure when I needed it and a true friend when I needed that. I am partially the person I am today because of his words of wisdom ( whether they be smart a** or truthful) and his love. I have also learned what friendship is all about from his daughter, my cousin. Her and I have had our share of issues. Those issues led to feeling as if my heart was ripped out thread by thread. What I did not realize at the time was that I was ripping her heart out also. Why you ask? Because we are both very head strong , which we both got from our parents! Neither one of us was strong enough at the time to turn to the other and tell each other exactly what we were feeling. We have made it past all the bad and are only looking towards the future now and all the good it has to offer. Our friendship is more than that of cousins. She is someone that I can tell my deepest darkest secrets to and know they are completely safe with her.
Family can be just across the street, just around the corner or hours away but they are still your family. My Uncle has always been within a few minutes from where ever I have lived. He is now moving away. Not that far, just a few hours. Still, he won't be just a few miles away to go see while on my Sunday afternoon motorcycle ride. It won't be as easy to just pop in and have a chat out on the deck. I feel heavy hearted because of this. Yet I am happy for him at the same time. He is following his dreams. Living life to the fullest! Isn't that what life is all about. I know that I am being selfish by feeling this way. I can't help my feelings.
This will be the last year for our annual Gladfest Party. I can not wait to celebrate family and friendships! This year will be the best of the best for Gladfest. We will celebrate our family of friends. A family that is friends above all beats everything else in my book! I only hope that my family knows how very much they mean to me!
Never take family for granted, keep them close to your heart, remember all that you have with then and continue to always make new memories. |
