Family Comes First

Does it ever happen to you that during the year there are few things that you really want to go to but the day there take place, there are more than one that u don’t want to miss? A little long and complicated, but I’m sure you all know what I’m talking about. This weekend It was my dad’s birthday, my sister’s birthday party and my best friends’ ring dunk. To make things easier for me both events were in different cities at the same time. Obviously it was a no-brainer deciding which one I had to miss because family always goes first, at least that’s what I’ve been brain washed to say, think, and act on. It was no surprised that the ring dunk, the event I missed, was a total success. Not only that, but everyone had asked me why I missed the party. I feel like being upset about missing such a great time with friends, some which I won’t be seeing because they are graduating, but instead I have thought about reasons why I shouldn’t. Even though I feel like I could have gotten out of the birthday party with some sneaky moves, I would have hated myself after that. Family does go first because they have always been there for me and even when I have a family of my own, I know that I would have really been hurt if any of my family has traded a special day for me for some friends. I don’t regret going to my little sis birthday party and I hope that she never trades a day with me for any of her temporary friendships.
