SEASONS

THIS WEEK I HAVE BEEN THINKING A LOT ABOUT MY FAMILY. AND WONDERING WHY I LOVE THEM. GOD KNOWS THERE ARE MANY REASONS WHY I SHOULDN'T. I THINK THAT THE MAIN REASON I TRY TO WORK THINGS OUT WITH THEM, IS WHAT IF I NEED A KIDNEY. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. LOL...

WHAT I HAVE FOUND OUT ABOUT FAMILY IS THAT GOOD OR BAD THERE MINE. THAT THERE IS A PART OF THEM IN ME AND ME IN THEM. AT THIS TIME IN MY LIFE I AM THANKFUL FOR THAT. BEING SO FAR AWAY. BEING FAR AWAY IT HELPS ME IN THE HARD TIMES TO THINK OF ALL THE FUNNY THINGS AND THE HARD TIMES THAT WE HAD TO PULL TOGETHER TO MAKE IT. IN THE TIMES THAT I THOUGHT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GO ONE MORE DAY. IT IS FAMILY THAT PULLS YOU OUT OF IT, AND IN MOST CASES THEIR THE ONES THAT PUT YOU RIGHT BACK IN IT.

WHEN I AM DOWN ONE OF MY FAVORITE MEMORIES IS WHEN WE WERE AT THE BEACH. ONE OF MY SISTERS, HER GIRL FRIEND, MY BROTHER-IN-LAW AND MYSELF WERE PLAYING AROUND IN THE WATER. MY BROTHER-IN-LAW WAS SPLASHING MY DIKE --- I MEAN SISTER. SO SHE GOT LOW IN THE WATER AND TRIED TO DO A SURPRISE ATTACK. BUT THE SURPRISE WAS THAT WITH THE FORCE THAT SHE CAME UP WITH PULLED DOWN THE TOP OF HER SWIMSUIT. AND SHE DID NOT KNOW... THE ONLY THING ON HER MIND WAS GETTING MY BROTHER-IN-LAW BACK FOR SPLASHING HER. ALL THE WHILE HER BOOBS WERE FLOATING ON THE WATER. AND THE MORE SHE SPLASHED. THE MORE THEY MOVED ACROSS THE WATER LIKE TWO BABY OTTERS. SPINNING AND DIPPING, AND COMING BACK UP. WHEN SHE STOPPED AND SAW THE OTTERS WERE OUT DOING THERE OWN THING. IT WAS TO LATE . I WILL NEVER FORGET HOW MAD SHE GOT BUT THE WHOLE THING IS THAT IT WAS FUNNY.

YOU SEE YOUR FAMILY IS A LOT LIKE THE WEATHER, THERE ARE TIMES THAT IT RAINS FOR WEEKS ON END. THEN JUST AS FAST AS IT THE RAIN STARTED THE SUN COMES OUT, AND A NEW SEASON STARTS. FAMILY CAN BE AS COLD AS THE SNOW AND THE COLDEST DAY OF THE WINTER. AND YOU WONDER HOW LONG CAN THE WINTER LAST. LIKE FALL WHEN YOUR LIFE SEEMS TO BE COMING APART AROUND YOU. FAMILY IS THERE TO PICK UP THE LEAVES , AND THEN JUST LIKE THAT IT'S SUMMER AND YOUR AT THE BEACH WATCHING THE OTTERS PLAY.

THROUGH THE SEASON OF LIFE AND FAMILY ITS WHEN YOUR ALONE THAT YOU NEED AND MISS THEM THE MOST. AND THE TIME THAT YOUR WITH THEM YOU WISH YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE BUT THERE. LIKE THE WEATHER FAMILY IS PART OF YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE. SO REMEMBER WHEN IT IS RAINING MAKE ROOM UNDER YOUR UMBRELLA. FOR ONE MORE. THEIR A PART OF YOU. GIVE THEM THE COVER THEY NEED. AND REMEMBER WHO THEY ARE..... YOU......
