FAMILY

Ah family can't live with them and can't live without them.  How that works I actually get.  As a teen the last place I want to be is stuck with my family.  I know I'm not the only one who feels this way.  However when I am with them, I am glad.  Most of the time I do end up having fun.  I do have some bad attitudes when I am supposed to be there.  I say how I would rather be anywhere else, but with my family.  In all honesty when I am away at girls camp, home is where I want to be.  I miss that feeling you have with them.  You don't notice it until it's gone.  Some may say that's never happend to me, or I never get homesick.  Well either you are lying or you mean it.  If you truly mean it I suggest spending time with your family.  Doing something fun like a movie or picnic.  They may not be fun for the moment, but when you go back to it you realize it was rather one of the funnest times of your life.  Almost all of your happy childhood memories will happen at home.  Notice how I say almost.  Since eventually everyone leaves the nest and moves far off or somewhere close, your family will never be as close again.  When you move off to college you'll realize, I miss Mom's cooking or how she would do the laundry.  You will reminise and remember what you learned and give it to your own kids.  Fact is, family is more important then realize and most of the time we take them for granted.  We should take some time and thank our parents and, yes, even siblings and say, "Thanks for being my family.  I really do love you."  Sure some may say they know I love them I don't need to say it to them.  Let me tell you those words take on a whole new meaning when you say them with real sincerity to those who love you, and who you love as well.  It will really mean allot weither you can tell or not.
