Family

A simple word for a not so simple topic. As if to have a one word answer to the question of "why the world was created". With the main holiday season in full swing now, people are travling short and far to see their loved ones. My family, crazy, but damn if it doesn't feel good starting a conversation with them and having 6-7 different opinions about it. My cousins, on my dads side, are probably the blood that flows through me; they are older than me, but don't treat me as such. I come to them for advice, and they come to be with advice. I love it, my opinion being taken into consideration. For the past couple of years, my extended family has come down to my fathers house so celebrate Thanksgiving. Sometimes its hard getting certain people there due to the distance (Detriot to Maryland); but we make it work. When we are there, you can see how our presence makes each other happy. We talk about anything, from TV to marriage to "That Damn Alvin".

Just a couple days from seeing everyone this year, I am waiting another 363 days until I can see them again.

If you have a strong family, you should enjoy it and take everything you can from it. My family is VERY strong, as each of my cousins and aunts have goals and dreams. Even if you family is close, you should take time out to see them, listen to them and talk to them. Trust me, its one of the best things in this world to do.
