Deep

Often in times things happen that really make me take a deep look at my own self. In my life time I have had the honor to grow up with extremely smart and talented people. I have always been so proud of my Parents accomplishments and in awe of my siblings talents. All of my siblings have musical talent that is evident, but they all have other just as amazing talents. I have always been so proud of them and secretly wished I could have some of that talent. Don't get me wrong I can keep time and stay on key but nothing amazing musically and I have other talents like being an awesome mom and a good wife. So I'm not on a pity party or anything but I need to say that to say this. I have been present more times then I can count when my parents or siblings have been given high praise and witnessed them being told how talented they are on numerous subjects and I have always, always, been extremely proud. I was proud of them and proud to be their sister. None of my siblings can say the same thing about me. None of them have ever sat and listened to someone tell me how talented I am. How would they react? I assume they would be just as proud of me as I have always been of them. That's what family is suppose to be supportive of each other and proud of each other's accomplishments. So why do family's not support one another. I know a lot of families who are broken. I hate that for them. I am so lucky and blessed to have a family that I would do anything for and we have called on one another in our times of need. Let's face in life if you don't have people around you who got your back then life would be super lonely. All families have things that happen that we all don't agree with, lets face it we are all different people and have different likes and dislikes. I hope that we can see past our differences and forgive, agree to disagree and move on. I worry a lot about our daughter, she is an only child and when we are gone who will she have. She will be all alone in this world. I have shed many tears about that particular subject. I wish I could give her a sibling so that she will have someone to turn to in times of doubt, grief, and celebration. Someone to spend holidays with life is hard enough without trying to do it all alone. So I guess what am saying is that all you only children who have grown up and lost both of your parents. I admire you.. Family is important and we should never forget that.
