No matter what you say or what you do, a family is never perfect. Families love and families suffer, but that's what makes you stronger. My family stands as strong as we can and we smile away our worries and fears. But those worries and fears never disappear. A mother who was beaten and destroyed, with her children suffering from her pain. The fear of him coming back. A maternal girl, never able to have children and the fear of being alone. Family members passing away and the worry that you will never recover. A mother who is now disabled and will never heal. A young girl being checked for cancer and the fear of surviving. The list can extend further and further. But without these worries or without these fears this family would not stand strong and our strength is what binds us. Just remember to live your life 1 day at a time and smile your worries away
