I trust in the love and support
of my family.
I trust in the love and support of my family because I know
that we are bonded far deeper and more permanently than any
mere friendship.
We have a common history and heritage with intertwined memories
and dreams. Our past, present and future are linked with
each other. For these reasons, I make the relationship within
my family a priority.
I acknowledge that sometimes we see less than eye-to-eye
on matters, yet the fact that we are interconnected for life
gives me the security to dig deep and work toward understanding
and solutions.
While I sometimes wish I could pick and choose my family
as I do my friends, I know that relating to my own kin develops
far more depth to my character. In the end, it's my family
who will stick by me when the going gets tough.

I invest in the valuable bonds
of my family relationships by addressing conflict when it
arises rather than allowing it to simmer. I value our relationship
far too highly to allow it to be corroded that way.
I
also deepen our bonds when I simply spend time with them. I don't need an excuse to have dinner with them, go shopping
together, break out the board games, or simply sit and chat.
When I am with my family, I can be myself. I treasure that
and do whatever I can to build on it.
