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.

Thats very true!
The older you get the more you appreciate your family.
Now that i am the grand old age of 25 i get on really well most of the time with my two sisters, but in the past i could of quite happily strangled them!
Also i look after my mum now that she is finally out of hospital and was quite surprised when most of my friends said that they wouldnt be able to look after their own mothers.

Hi Claire
It is a shame how many people are becoming less interested in returning the care when their parents become infirmed.
Thanks for the post

A lot of people fail to realise how much family mean and take it for granted. Thanks for reminding me Brit :)
I dont take my family for granted and fully understand how much of a great and wonderful relationship I have with them all.
It is a shame that i dont get to see them as often as I would like, but thats the price to pay when chose to move out of the town you grew up in.
Hi Kerri and Boy
In the modern world keeping relationships going can be difficult and with families particularly, we all are sometimes guilty of taken it for granted. However, as you say they are a great and important part of our lives.
