I've decided I want to do a blog post series called "The 'F' Words." They're going to consist of four different topics that are extremely important to me. If when you saw the title of this post and thought of some other word, then shame on you.
Family. This has to be the most underrated thing in today's society. The value of family seems to have decreased significantly over the years. To me, my family is the thing I am most thankful for. Seriously, my family is the greatest there is. I have two amazing parents. They are both perfect examples of love, kindness, and self sacrifice. Literally, they would give someone the shirts off of their backs. My brother looks out for me just like a parent. I know he'll always be there. I have a sister who constantly keeps the family laughing. And of course, I have my awesome nephew. He is full of life, laughter, and innocence. Thanks to these amazing people, they have helped mold me into the person I am today.
I know we are not a perfect family. In fact, we are far from it, but I wouldn't have it any other way. It's these tiny imperfections that define us as a family. We laugh, we cry, we fight, but most importantly, we love. We love through the good times and through the hard times. We love unconditionally and completely. I love my family and would not trade them for anything.
