If
you have a mother who is alive that you can still call....if you have a
father alive that you can still see, don't take these people for
granted...
There are many of us who have neither a mother or a father to
talk to when things are good bad or otherwise...cherish your
grandmothers and grandfathers while they are here....some of us will
never know what it is truly like to have parents, grandparents, aunts,
uncles.....family....
And for those of us who never really had these
important people in our lives, stay encouraged for God has placed
someone in your life you can trust
And for those who do not honor
fathers and mothers or cherish family, know that there is always
something that can be learned from the people in our lives even if we
think we don't like them very much. Just wait until they are not here
anymore and see how valuable a role that person really played in your
life.
For the record, I miss my mother and father dearly and think of
them everyday, I miss having my grandmothers, grandfathers, uncles and
aunts be a part of my life growing up, I miss not having consistent
relatives (my mom created a lot of extended families for us to make up
for what we did not have) or being a part of a family that had reunions
and get togethers...but I know God gave me a sister
and between the two of us we learned to make a family.....
Hey Marie, we
still growing......I miss those days when we had a table for 4 or 5 at
family dinners....now we gotta coordinate and make reservations...I love
you Marie and miss you!
