Blood is thicker than water?we grew up in the embrace and warmth of a broad family hug. As we got older family values got engrained. In our quest for forming are own individual identity - we soon experience that a family member is no different from any other individual. We start to form our own chords & dis-chords. Yes there is a bond that provides a glue. It however becomes clear that the family becomes like any relationship. It is living, needs to be nurtured, cared for and at times more delicately and intensely than outside relationships - as there is so much history- so many truths, habits, hurt(s) that have been part of growing up- rivalries, celebrations, laughs and disappointments. It is like being naked... the feelings are more sensitive with a greater propensity of getting hurt. Rather than have a list of not discussed complaints.. either lay them aside to rest or address them. Life is for loving and it starts at home- forgive, address any pain and create a shining emptiness within to enable new memories.
