Family Bonding

Family bonding: The little things that make a difference

I think i have a good relationship with my family,well at least my mom and dad.One thing that i have learned about being apart of such a crazy family is,you don't know what you have until it's gone.I think everyone has heard that phrase a time or two,but it is true.I used to have a really close bond with my parents but i feel like we grow apart as i grow older.I get more into drama,boys and things i am not supposed to do,i think we all go through this phase.My mom has always been there for me no matter what,and i always wanted her to be there but now i just wish she would leave me alone.I think that is so weird for me to feel this way but there is things i just can't tell my mom.things she won't understand.I just don't understand how life could change this fast,how life could change how i think of my mom,don't get me wrong i love my mom so much.But i just don't want to be close to her anymore.But even though I don't want to be close to my mom anymore,i still really like how she lets me know that she will always be there for me,and that she cares.That is one of the things that makes a difference in my life.Now i have always been daddy's little girl,and i think i always will.But my dad is always away on his job,i will be lucky if i see him once a week.the only way i talk to him is through the phone and i really wish i could see him more.It gets really hard sometimes because sometimes i really need my dad mare than my mom but he is never there.And usually don't know what to do,who i should talk to or where i should go,it's really hard for me.I have a brother named matthew we are only a year apart and i think we are close we get along pretty well,thats when were not fighting,i love him so much and i would always want the best for him and i hope all of his dreams come true and i think our relationship is becoming stronger as we get older,unlike me and my moms relationship.I am just so scared that one day he is going to make the wrong choice,and then end up in jail.since i am older i think it is my duty to look after him and make sure he is staying out of trouble.That is what i will do and i will continue to do.I have a lot of problems in my life but all my problems got worst when my grandma died last year.I loved her so much and we used to be really close like me and my mom.It was really hard for me to actually realize that my grandma was dead.It happened so fast.One minute she was there,the next minute she was gone,i pray a lot and i always hope she is listing, i hope she is looking down on me and i hope she is proud of me.As you can see i have a confusing life.But the little things in life do count sometimes more than the big things.
