Family Matters

The importance of family. 

We've all heard those four words before I'm sure. Our families have always been there, even in times when we wish that they were not. Through troubles and tribulations they have continued to ride the same wave. At least that is how my families are.

I should start by saying that I have two mothers. 

One is biological.

One is not.

I love both these women with the same amount of heart.

I met my second mother when I was very young and immediately fell in love with her spirit, her soul, her warmth, her grace and her love. She was a gift from above. She still is today. She introduced into my young life an equal part of good and bad. The good was great. She taught me about my inner being, and about the spiritual world. Most of all she taught me about the magic that the Universe offers everyday. The bad was terrible. Not from my second mother, but from her other daughter. I call her my sister and I speak only the truth. She is my sister, although not biological. 

There came a time just before my 20th birthday that I felt I could no longer handle the chaos that my sister was stirring. She fed on the drama and fear of others. No longer could I take it. I decided after months of deliberation that the healthiest thing for me to do was cut off contact and make believe she had never existed. 

Make Believe

I thought it would be that simple. It turns out that I was wrong and that now the healthiest thing for me to do was mend our torn relationship. 

I am currently in the mending stage. I take each day as it comes and I pray for her every night. 

I hope that this post touches the hearts of those who have dealt with, or are dealing with, a troubled family member. They are tough. They can be cruel and evil. They are reaching out for help. 

I choose to love her through this. I know that one day she will survive and fight the inner demons that plague her. 

Love can move mountains. 

Love will survive.

Love will endure.

Love will conquer us all.

We all have the choice. Either listen to our positive light side or not. 

I choose to listen to my Light.

I pray that you all do the same.
