Analogy of a Family



On a less bitter topic (ha ha)

My analogy of a great family recently came to me because of a personal matter that I had to go through. I stopped to think, it's like a bunch of super hero's coming together and that's what makes a great family. My family is great. Now, don't get me wrong - they drive me crazy, I complain about them because you have to right? But, in the end when the chips are down and you need someone, they are always there for you. Recently they stepped in and took care of me in a way that I could never repay them.

My theory is that each person can bring to the table an attribute that maybe the other person doesn't possess. One person may analyze so much better, one person may just bring patients, one can bring a financial minded perspective, heck one can even just bring humor to keep you from going insane. It's just that a family that can bring separate attributes and combine them to one force that can't be reckoned with is amazing and thus my analogy was formed.

I dedicate my super hero analogy to my family and I must say I love them with all my heart and to one particular person out there who once told me family should "not be so involved and should not be in my business". Well, all I have to say to you is, I feel so sorry for you that you never really understood what a family can be for you and do for you. I am also sorry that I almost let you convince me of that too. What a fool I was.
