Family

As I write the title to this post, my heart swells with emotion. My family.. . ... ironically our most recent family photo was taken on Krystle & Gerard's wedding day. Today was the first day in many months that the whole family was together. Both Kyle & Darcy have finished their first year of college and are able to have a little down time before summer work starts. Once I knew they were both going to be here, I invited Krystle and Gerard to come over as well. It's funny how alive the house seems when they're all here.

Family is a very important part of our everyday life. It helps us in improving our personality. It also helps us in shaping our lives. It teaches us the value of love, affection, care, truthfulness and self-confidence and provides us tools and suggestions which are necessary to get success in life. It's the place where you can be yourself, where you are accepted for who you are. Family encourages you when you are surrounded by problems and is willing to help you through the tough times and can bring joy and happiness into your life.

It seems that in today's society, most people don't realize the importance of family. They prefer to spend most of their time with their friends. But when they are surrounded by problems, it's their family that they turn too. So it is very important for each and every one of us that we give importance to our families above anything else and enjoy spending time with our family members.

Friendships can come and go, however, family is here for life.
