The title "Family Means Hmm.." is a book about what family means to me. It's like an inspirational reminder of what God has created and put as a part of my life to love and for them to love me in return. We all have our way of showing love, but no matter what color, size, how smart or not so smart a person may be, they should matter. Each person born is given a gift of something great and something that he or she should be able to share and help inspire someone's else life that seems to be in a vulnerable state at times. My beginning to write this book was inspired by how I feel towards my family. It was the soul searching of how one can make mistakes in life and can hold grudges beyond belief that I decided that I will create a book of my own value and hopefully some of my readers will feel the way that I feel towards their family. The book itself is like a daily reminder of how we should treat one another. I have seen family walk away from one another and never speak again. I have seem family fight and say the most cruel things to one another, but the love and the bondage of forgiveness brought them back together again. There's no perfect family because their is no perfect human being. We may think at times that we have no flaws, but truly we all have things that needs improving and family somewhat hits the top of the charts at times. If I should say one thing and mean it from the bottom of my heart, family will always be family and there's no changing that, they were the one designated to us. We have to love them through all the mess and heartbreaking causes we all at times go through. Family means hmm... to me is just as the title states. It's a love and hate relationship at times. You can hate them, but you don't want anyone else to talk about them or hate them. We will at times not speak or call, but throughout the day your mind is wondering about their well-being. Family comes in large numbers and at times small number. but regardless of the size there's more than enough love to go around. We think of the good times as well as the bad. The good at most outweighs the bad. The memories of the time you share with one another is something that keep the bonding of it all, then you have that one person who seems to be like the "Big Mama" of the family. That person you always call to ask for answers and even permission. Family is important. We need each other and we have to keep the love we have within. Who can love you more than your parents? At times it's hard for everyone to express their feeling, but it's that one special thing that he or she does that shows you the love they have for you. Make the time we all have together special ones. Make yourself a daily inspirational checklist in your daily days of living. Make someone feel special. Set aside how you may feel and try to make someone else feel important. It's a good feeling inside knowing that you can love someone as much as you love yourself. Family is everything and when I say everything, I mean just that, they are everything. Each person has something unique to offer and when they offer it, be willing to take it. Share with others the goodness of that person, but don't tell it all, leave some for them to receive. "Family Means Hmm...", I hope will lead someone to open there heart and let the sunshine come in, meaning let the ones you need to say sorry to, after going through some of my passages, it will make you think about that person and you will be willing to open up your heart and share all the love you have within with them. Family is everything. It's like the spices of life. Some come sweet, some come bitter, but combining the two together, you'll get a bitter-sweet but tolerable relationship that both will be willing to work on to make it sweeter. Love one another, by listening to one another, sharing feeling with one another and having a open mind because family is everything.!!!!!
