Family is the most important thing on this earth to me. I have learnt that you take the good with a happy face and the bad with a grain of salt. You choose your friends, what you wish to do and eat and choose what Church or religion is best for you but you do not choose family. You either have them already or you inherit them. Either way YOU DO NOT CHOOSE, YOU GET.

Family are like different foods, some are sweet, some are bitter, some are tough and some are softies. You try to deal with each as you would have them deal with you. However, sometimes you want to hug them and other times you are looking for the nearest cliff to push them off. You try to see their good qualities but sometimes their bad ones over shadow the good. They are also like fish some are salt water and some are fresh water. Some have smooth skins and the others scaly but after a week they all begin to stink and you are ready to help them pack their bags. As the ole saying goes, You are happy to see them come but even happier to see them leave. Their are some family members you love to claim as family and then others you hope no one will ever find out you happen to be kin. Now y'all know it is true no matter what part of the country you are located.

You learn from family what to do and what not to do by their actions and deeds.

The Kitty Justice is you would not be who you are without the family you have.
