You can't pick your family. I can however choose my friends. There is good and bad in both groups. When looking back over your life, you see friends that have been lost over the years...they weren't really your good friends. Good friends will stay in touch no matter where you go or what you do. I'm lucky to have been blessed with a few. Rob Johnson is the best friend I've ever known. He's been there during the good and bad times and offered encouragement when times were tough. I wish everybody had a friend as golden as Rob.
I choose to be very close with my immediate family. We fight and argue about many things but we always know that we love each other. In the end, that's all that matters. Forgiving family members is a lot harder than forgiving a friend. Even when you are angry as hell, you still see them often. Forgiving and forgetting has to be much quicker. My family depends on me and I also depend on them. It's hard to explain but we need each other and help one another daily. I'm proud of my family and wouldn't trade them for anything. Those that read this....I love you very much, thanks for being there for me, even when I'm a total asshole! Thanks.
