We Are Promised..NOTHING!

Family will never cease to disappoint. Don't you dare call yourself part of my family unless you are ready to act like a part of it. All the manipulative games, the lying, backstabbing, using/abusing, two-faced, drama creating b.s needs to stop. I can't say I'm purely innocent because I've been known to get caught up in the drama myself but I have to say I am profoundly shocked and disturbed at the wretchedness that seems to be snaking its way through the lives of those I love and have trusted.

Make things right, we aren't guaranteed another day on this earth. Remember our loss of 2004; once someone is gone, there are no take backs and there is no way to make things right again. Do you want that guilt and that sorrow to be imprinted upon your soul for the rest of eternity?

Fix it. I don't want excuses. I don't want pointed fingers and frankly I don't care if this post is offensive or ruffles feathers.

Fix your mistakes before its too late. Make a call you've been putting off. Even if you weren't wrong, swallow your pride and say you're sorry. Tell someone that you love them. Plan an outing, share a meal. Stop with the games and petty b.s and MAKE THINGS RIGHT!!

Stop picking favorites. Stop punishing people for the past. Stop running away from your problems. You know what you are doing is wrong. Just f*#%ing stop it!

Bottom Line: There are no guarantees. No one lives forever. We aren't promised a tomorrow, or a next week or even a next year. When someone is gone, they are gone forever...and then you wish with every last fiber of your being that you could go back for just a single second and fix what was broken. You wish so much it hurts.

And on another note, you may have given birth to a specific child but we are their family too. We love them too. Your family isn't the only one they've got. Make an effort. For those who think they are doing whats best, think about this: Is it best to rob a child of their family? Whether they are YOUR blood family or not. Whether you are at odds with their father/mother or not, you are wrong in doing what you are doing.
