Family

They say that you can choose your friends, but cannot choose your family, but would you want to? Family is one of the most unique relationships a person can have.

Parents raise you from the day you are born, protecting and nurturing, guiding and leading. Often, especially when times are difficult, even as we become adults, they seem to be still acting in the same manner, stretching out a helping hand to get us through whatever problem has arisen.

Similarly, there is no bond that can compare with the one that exists between brothers and sisters. In most cases they will be there if you need them. There is also an honesty in this relationship which does not often exist elsewhere. A sibling will let you know if you are being unreasonable or acting out of character.

Even in the extended family there is a specialness about the relationship. It is something that cannot be replicated.

Therefore, although there are times when we all could possibly explode at the actions of a family member, these are few and far between.

Family is family and that means love.
