–noun
1. parents and their children, considered as a group, whether dwelling together or not.

Those of you that know me, know that I had about a 12-14 year gap from when I had last seen my family. I guess I have this tendency to isolate myself. When my mom moved out of Washington and my oldest sister and niece, it broke my heart. I felt like I was all alone. I was 22 at the time. I had some issues about my families past. Issues about how I felt about myself. I was angry. I pretty much cut myself off. It was never a plan. It was what happened. Several years later I got into Meth. That certainly didn’t help the concept of seeing my family. It hurt not seeing or talking to anyone. I avoided the pain of saying goodbye. I avoided them seeing me for what I had become. It was a goal of mine to redevelop the relationship I have with my family. I realized that I had not been fair. At all. There was nothing good about the separation. I had some valid issues, but I don’t agree with how I handled it at all. I regret the time I lost. The fact I met my sisters kids so many years after they were born. How wrong was that?! I cannot change the mistake I made. A part of me hates myself for all of it. Even now after reconnecting with my family, being 2 years now… I still fail to keep in good touch. I don’t know why I am like that. I don’t mean to be. It will have to be something I really work on. Maybe even write reminders. I know that sounds stupid, but I don’t want it to continue. I love my family very much. Every single person is an awesome person that I want to know. I want them to know me. With Barb having cancer, it really has put this in perspective. It is so IMPORTANT to remember your family. Even if it a call to say hi, a birthday card, or Christmas card. It all means so very much. The little things, the I love yous, the I miss yous matter so much. I don’t want to waste more time. I have lost way t0o much already.
