What Does It Mean To Be A Family?

What does it mean to be A family or more so what does it mean to be IN a family? I couldn't be more grateful for them.They are the ones who tell me nothing is impossible, they constantly remind you that you are love, that you are amazing and that you are everything. They are the ones who accept you for who you are. When you are down they will be there to rise you up. They will help you grow.When someone has hurt you they will rally up and defend you. When you are in need they will provide for you. They will move mountains for you, if there is a storm outside they will be there ringing your doorbell.

A family makes you feel safe, happy and protected.

What does it mean to A family?

Well like the famous quote, "Not everything is perfect" sometimes we can argue and have little spats, yet at the end of the day we still love each other. Everyone's family is different, whether your parents are together, divorced, or even single parents. Just because on the outside it looks different does not mean the inside isn't. We're all the same; we express the same love, and maybe just maybe that single parent is shown so much love from their kids because that single parent is a mom and dad all in one.

"Siblings"

If you are not the only child, then you understand that when I say "siblings", I mean a bunch of things such as nightmares, headaches, fakers and tattletales. Siblings can be quite a handful sometimes there are only one and even then they are a big . There are moments when we want to strangle them and maybe we happen to lay a finger on them. But there's no evidence of that so let's carry on.

Our siblings steal our clothes, they take over movie decisions, and sometimes even dinner. It's like they become ruler of the house. As we continue this tends to lead into arguments, sometimes constant. Yet as we grow there are moments when there is peace and quite and we may be causing trouble together . Sometimes instead of arguing filling the house, laughter is being heard. There has always been something unique about the sibling bond. We wreck havoc in each others lives yet what makes it special is that if someone was to to cause trouble, hurt our brother or sister it is a different story. Like I said when being in a family they will protect you. We will do everything in our power to make you happy again to wipe those tears away , because no matter what we do we would never want you to be hurt.

Yet learn this family can be anybody, family is not always by blood. A family's role anyone can fill. Whether it is a mother or father, aunt or uncle or even a a sister or brother. Believe me when I say this anyone can fill it.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
