family ties...

if you know me at all then you know that i'm pretty close to my family... now that i'm getting older i worry that i may not be there for my family... but i have been thinking of this all the wrong way... my family would like me to succeed... they would want me to be happy... they would also respect any decision that i make if it made me happy... if i were my family i know that i would not to be the reason for me not being happy in life... yes i'll always be there for my family and my family there for me... but i could never feel disconnected from my family even if we lived across the country... if anything my family would like me to make a family of my own... i believe that separating from your family physically is just a part of growing up... its a part of life that all of us hit sooner or later... i believe before i was not ready to do such a thing... but now that i know that whatever i do... wherever i go... my family will be there... i'm not afraid... today we just drove 4 hours to see my aunt and then 4 hours back the same day we went for her son's baptism... now not just my family went but my dads brothers family and other family from other states flew in for a baptism... it was not even a wedding... this just proves that wherever i am whatever i end up doing in my life my family will be flying/driving/training in to see me... why? because its my family... distance will not reflect how close i am with my family... because i know that any day of the week they would travel that distance to help me... and i would also do the same... so i'm not worried about losing touch... i'm worried that i'm going to get sick of them :p even if they are states away haha...

till then...beLoving...
