A BLESSING FOR US ALL.
By Rosemary ClarkeI've got your 6 buddy
I'm going to say something very
controversial now; being a family, and families themselves don't really matter.
The word 'family' has been blown out of all
proportion by happy tales of perfect people, but none of us is like that and
it's as stupid to believe in the perfect family as it is to believe in the
perfect figure.
It's about time we all started to grow up and
realise that NOTHING is perfect; we are all great imperfections and we have to
live with that. It doesn't matter if Johnny has the best marks in school
or Sue has a really good job and makes lots of money, what matters is if the
people who look after them hug them, play games with them, are not too busy to
listen when things for them are good or bad and show, not just tell them how
wonderful life is now that they are here.
Too many children grow up playing with 'pretty
toys' that, when councillor's open their doors to their minds, turn out to be
like knives or razors, things that have physically and mentally hurt them
without them even knowing.
People give their whole lives for the good
of ' family' instead of being shown that being themselves is the best thing
that they can be.
Family, real family, can be any colour and any race,
it can be a father and a son but it can also be a group of friends who have
stood with each other through everything that life can throw at them. I have
heard a lovely phrase lately from many teenagers and I think that the world
should take it up also....I've got your back... Let's all remember that
for everyone and make EVERYONE family this Christmas and forever.
