Family

Just the other day I sat and wondered what life would be like without family. Would it be as filled with joyous occasions and laughter if we were to live without family? Would there be as many arguments and struggles? At the end of the day if you think of it, it’s our family that helps us through difficult and trying times. I don’t know what life would be like without family.


When I think of family I think of many generations. It’s like an onion, many different layers. Family is the same, there are many layers of family members. And all those layers make up one whole strong onion. And as soon as you try and chop up one of the layers or just a piece of it, your eyes will burn. That’s how families are, they stand together and support one another. And as soon as anyone tries to mess with a member of the family they will end up in tears.

Many individuals tend to take their family members for granted. They do not realise how fortunate they are to have a family and just see it as a normal, every day, “so what” thing. It’s important that we spend as much time with our families as we can and we should also make them aware of the fact that they are greatly appreciated. In the end blood is thicker than water….
