I just realized something... Maybe it's not so much losing faith as much as faith in family...
For
the last 18 years or we have had a tradition at our house on everything
4th of July. It actually has nothing to do with Independence Day but we
do give thanks for it.
It has always been more about being
together and giving thanks for the family than anything else. And as
years progress it seems like family is valuing less. Sure, I know people
sometimes choose to do something else but why not tell us... it should
already be known that we're all getting together... My mom and I cook
every year to try and accomodate... and with the family growing
smaller...
Last
year, only one aunt showed up... and the one who never shows up... big
surprise... but at least the actually family as in my siblings were all
together.
This year, it has been the biggest dissapointment
ever... I almost wanted to cry in sadness, anger, dissapointment,
shame... I don't know name them and probably...
None, of my
mom's sisters showed up and it's been their tradition since they were
lil... My sister didn't show up and didn't even inform us...and she said
she forgot... She didn't, she just made other plans. My bro and his
girlfriend broke up last night after he did something irresponsible as a
father... my parents arguing and throwing some shots at eachother while
we were praying...
There is no family unity. And this
is the saddest part. I guess my sibling don't care about it but I do.
Maybe I care too much. I see my parents in a divorce sometime in the
near future which makes me even more sad because they're not willing to
communicate.
Ever wonder why communication, family, trust, love
as so important because I don't want to be unhappy when I get older... I
want to love a person every day... (yes, a bit romantic but I'm a
realist as well) I want to know we can disagree but talk them through
get over it and grow from our mistakes as a couple and lovers.
My
intention when I get married is never to separate even and after things
get bad... add sicknesses add disagreements add religion add
(anything)... I don't want to pick a person who can be disposable or who
will consider me disposable...
