I'm a Part of Her

There’s always days in our lives were we realize we are alone and we have no one but ourselves to fight throughout the tough moments of our life. In those moments my mom always said; “At the end the only think that we really have is family. Friends will always come and go”. Obviously thinking of this always made me feel better because it is true. I’m a very independent and goal reaching person, but I have always had my family watching my back. When I feel alone is easy to run to my parents’ and sisters’ embrace and feel safe and loved whenever people disappointed me. The relationship I have with my family is the one relationship we’re people need to have. A safety feeling that a lot find within religion because is a bond that will not be damaged by frustration, anger, or jealousy and has been permanent throughout life. Even though my dad is our financial stability and my sisters are happiness, my mom is the one that brings us together. I almost want to say that our family bond is more specifically the bond we all have with my mom. Obviously this tells you how important my mom is to the wellbeing of my family but with this I also want to explain why we all need that relationship with her. Earlier I compared it to the relationship some have with God because it is a relationship that does not change and is always present. That is the exact reason why is needed. I can’t say that in everyone’s life, but in mine for sure, people come and go. There are people who betray you and people who just vanish. It doesn’t matter how they leave, it’s easy to feel like friends and family are nothing more than people who happen to concede in your life but soon will be nothing but distant memories. When gloomy feelings like those come by just the thought of everything that mom has done and is willing to do for me is enough to make me feel loved at a lonely time. In my life she doesn’t replace God, but they both give me hope when difficult situations come up. Just like my dad gives every penny he makes to us, my mom gives every minute of her life to us. She thinks more about what we want and need than anything else. I know that sooner or later I will make a family of my own and later in life she will not be with me anymore, but she has given me a part of her that I will be eternally grateful for. Thank to her, I will make sure that whatever happens I let my love ones know I will always have their back because I know how important is to have a permanent, solid column to lean on when you feel that everything else disappears like a mirage of water in a desert.
