 Directions

 Be there for each other. Listen with an open heart and be ready to offer advice. You are going to need that same advise one day, and someone to listen to you too. Take the time for one an other. Be yourself and embrace the uniqueness of the ones around you. Put the needs of your family before your own. Never forget to tell your family how much you love them, with your actions not your words. Be available to lend a helping hand. Be ready to give a comforting hug at all times. When you see the ones you love make them feel like it is the first time you have seen them. When you say goodbye say it like it will be the last time you will see them. Laugh at their jokes even if it isn't funny. Let them think it was the first time you ever heard them say that story even if you heard it a thousand times, just pretend its the first time. Life isn't always going to be easy in fact it never is but when you have people in your life that love you like your family does, suddenly life isn't so hard anymore. If you have someone who cares about you than they are family. Every night when you go to bed think of those people that put up with you, that listened to you and made you feel loved for no reason. That is what family is all about being there for each other no matter what. I am so blessed to say that I have the most wonderful family in the whole world and not a day goes by when am not reminded of how blessed I am to have them in my life.
