The Family That Matters !!

It’s funny how things change, according to each choice you make. You want to live a comfortable life, but because you chose to be lazy while trying to get there, your life completely changes. We never get to realize, how these small things affect so many people around us, how it subtly changes lives of people around us too. I have heard that change is the only permanent thing in life. Making way for changes is one thing. Accepting them is another. Not many people have the strength to let the changes take place and accept change as it comes.

I realize this, when I see one of my friends suffer everyday because he chose to be lethargic when he was studying. I was too. But I had the family which backed me all the way and helped me get back on my feet. But this friend's family doesn’t really care. It is really hard to watch someone trying to set his life right with nobody there to support him. Though he is trying to get back on his feet, there is nobody there for him to pull him up and pat him on his back for doing the right thing. Friends like us can only help him to an extent. Every kid as it grows up, always wants that small word of praise from the parents. It yearns for it. It’s the family that means the most. Or so I think. I remember the days when I used to cry about having no friends, it was my brother who asked me to be myself and not regret and my friends would find me.My brother used to be my best friend. And I did find friends, who today would do anything for me. And I am sure I wouldn't have found them, had it not been for my brother. But to-date, my brother still remains my best friend. I thank god everyday for giving me the family I could be proud of everyday. For giving me the kind of family that everyone would want to be in.

I thank the lord for that everyday !!
