"My Parents"

During the depressing time, I really didn't see an out. I thought I would never be able to sleep properly again. I thought I would have to rely on my brother forever. I thought that I would get worse and become a person I was not proud of.

One of the things that helped me get over it was remembering how hard my parents worked their whole life. I watched them go to work tired many days. There were even times that my dad would cry, because of the difficulty of his job, and how many hours he had to put in each week. Sometimes, even the boss was a real pain, but he had to put up with it, there was just no other option when you have a wife and two kids to feed.

But sometimes you don't realize what an asset your parents are. They are not just there to take care of you, to love you unconditionally, they are your look into the future. There is that famous saying about not forgetting history because its bound to repeat itself. I find that to be one of the most profound sayings in our history. You were composed from fifty-percent of your dad's genes and fifty-percent of mom's. As much as you may hate it, you are a breed of both of them.

Most of us love to state that we hope to never be like our dad or mom, but that would be considering things the negative way. The fact that our parents have made it, the fact that they have gone through life with a certain amount of strength, shows us that we can too.

But a lot of the time we don't understand the importance of family. Think about those that don't know who their family is. Now knowing who your family is isn't just about not having unconditional love, it's about not knowing who you are. If we know our parents weaknesses, we have a chance to change those things for the future. If one of your parents had cancer, chances are much much greater you will too. That is the number one risk. (the relation) If your a male, and your dad lost his hair, then you will probably too. But the knowing gives you a chance to do things decades ahead to potentially change that.
