Family. I forget the meaning. I forget why I have a family. I forget how I got to where I am in my life. The answer is -- my family. They have shaped me into the person I am today. And now, they're struggling. It's my time to give back, everything if not more that they have sacrificed for me. It may be sooner than expected, but they need me. I need to do everything in my power to be there for them -- financially, emotionally, and everything else.
I need to stay focused. I need to be the son that I know I can be. I need to make my parents proud. I need to make them smile the way they did on my high school graduation. I need to see them cry happy tears, not tears of stress or depression. I can do that.
I have faith that I will get through this. More importantly, I have faith that my family will get through these hard times. Everything happens for a reason, and I'm sure we'll all learn a valuable lesson through this.
Things never stay the same. We need to keep up with the changes in our lives, and keep pushing forward.

ReplyDelete"Doesn't matter how tough we are, trauma always leaves a scar. It follows us home, it changes our lives, trauma messes everybody up, but maybe that's the point. All the pain and the fear and the crap. Maybe going through all of that is what keeps us moving forward. It's what pushes us. Maybe we have to get a little messed up, before we can step up." --Grey's Anatomy
