I know. It's the same old thing that sounds stupid and corny... but trust me it really is true. I know this from personal experience. Family is one of the most important things you can have. Though some members may not be, you do have family members who will ALWAYS be there for you. They'll always support and help you even if you do something wrong.
My family members who are always there for me are my stepdad, my mom, my sister, and one of my brothers. My dad and other brother, however, aren't there for me anymore and that really sucks and hurts. I hate not having them in my life. My brother and my dad were huge parts of my life. Sure they did stuff that I wasn't comfortable with but they're still my family. You'd think that would count for something, but apparently it doesn't.....
Both my dad and my brother have stopped all contact with me and that hurts so so much. It breaks my heart... But it's not my fault. I've tried to contact them and I've tried to fix things, but that hasn't worked. I don't know what else to do. I guess I just have to keep moving forward and focus on the good things in life. Like my mom and stepdad who have helped me through all of this and so much more. My mom has always and will always be there for me and I can't ask for anything better than that. She talks to me and helps me find my way anytime I'm upset or make a mistake. She's the best mom out there.
My stepdad just recently came into my life a few years ago, but he's made a huge difference. He's always been there for me and is constantly doing what he can to help me and my mom and my other brother. Like I always tell my friends he's like the dad I always wanted and needed and never had. My stepdad doesn't realize this. At least I don't think he does. But he's like a dad to me and after everything I've been going through, that means a lot to me.
And then there's my sister. Sure she lives in another state, but I can call her anytime I need to and talk to her. She's always known exactly what to say and she knows what will help me. She's one of the few people I look up to. I love her alot. I love them all alot and I look up to them all. They're my family and they're everything to me....
What inspired me to write this blog is my own sadness. I'm still upset about my brother and dad, but they're only part of my family. I have more family than them that love me and care about me and haven't left me. And you all do, too. I know it doesn't always seem like that. I know you don't always see it. I know that sometimes families have falling outs and problems, but no matter what, you'll always have at least one family member who will always be there for you. Trust me on that...
This blog's advice is to remember that family is everything. Never ever forget this piece of information. And don't stop talking to them. Communication is key.
Well, until next time, live long and prosper.
