appreciate my family more

I really appreciate mine and Eddie’s family right now. My mum has especially been fantastic!

My family, especially my mum, have been a great help since Caden was born.

I need to show them how much I love them and how thankful I am to have them. I need to dedicate more time to be with my family.

I don`t know anymore if I really want this goal or not. I kinda hate my mom and dad (for really good reasons), the only one I seem to care a little is my bigger sister. It`s like I really go for it, I try to see something good in it and then they act, and do stuff, just like before… it`s so disgusting, and I think `Why am I doing this?`, I get to the point when I don`t know if they deserve appreciation or not.
I don`t know… I guess I`ll give it another try again and again and again.

over my 20 years i’ve gone through a variety of emotions towards my family.
i’ve embarassed them, i’ve been embarassed by them. i’ve hurt them, i’ve been hurt by them. but mostly, i’ve take them for granted and now: i’ve grown.

especially my mother. sure, we all get frustrated with our family members and need a break from time to time. but it’s that i need reality checks to recognize how much i love and need them. they love me and they will always be here for me.

I appreciate my siblings very much. However, I need to work on appreciation for my parents and extended family more.

its amazing actually. while trying to accomplish something else…i found myself loving them and wanting to be with them so much more. there are pictures of them all over my house. i call more often. so do they. i had forgotten how great things could be…especially with my people.
