What is a FAMILY.........

Have had a frustrating couple of days and today some members of my family have just pushed me to the edge and so I needed to think about what being a family really means. I don't mean to make it sound like the four of us are not happy it has been that my extended family members have been really making me feel frustrated and makes me realize how thankful I am for having a wounderful husband and awesome kids!

1) To give support when it is needed

2) To give a shoulder to cry on or lean on when needed

3) To be able to trust

4) To be honest to one another

5) To give the benefit of the doubt when unsure of a persons words or actions

6) To love

7) To always be there with open arms and a open heart

8) To make you always feel welcome

9) To create memories and share memories

10) To give unconditional love

11) To feel safe and secure

12) To lend a helping hand when one is needed

13) To show appreciation for having a family

14) To care for one another

15) To honor the ones we have lost and never forget them

16) To know you are forgiven for mistakes you have made

17) To share laughs together

18) To love our elders and care for them like they are a treasure

19) To be able to share good news and bad news together

20) To not be judged by one another

21) To be accepted for who we are in being able to be ourself

22) To be able to lay our heads on our people at night and know that we are loved
