My Perception on Family
Ugh, my life, my life, my life! Where are the ones that are supposed to be here regardless? Where are the ones that I’m supposed to turn to in my time of need? Family, aren’t they supposed to be the ones that you can count on when no one else is there? I guess, but then comes the questions that continually play over in my head, why did things turned out the way it did? Why couldn’t I have been dished out a life that glitters? Why did my mother and father abandoned me as a young child? So now goes the following question what is really the definition of family? Is it the ones who birth you? Or is FAMILY the ones that love you unconditionally and is there for you no matter what? Well my perception of family is the ones who consider me family. Like the bible says everyone is your brother and sister. So there goes to tell you that I don’t believe FAMILY to be the ones that are biological, family are the ones who care and love you unconditionally.
There are so many perceptions on how FAMILY is supposed to be. Here goes a little insight on my personal life and then you can get an idea of why my beliefs on family are my beliefs. As I child I never got the experience like many children did to experience living with either of my parents. I always knew them but they were never around because I am assuming that what they considered FAMILY was the streets instead of the children they had birthed. I was adopted at a young age by my loving beautiful grandmother who knew the importance of FAMILY. I love this lady with all my heart. She did everything in her right power to take care of six young children. She did everything from saleing dinners to saleing candy to having yard sales. But there was never a limit that she wouldn’t go to make sure that her grandchildren had food and a roof over their heads. No, we didn’t have the latest fashion but we had clothes on our back.
