It's All in the Family
I have learned a lot of things over the past week. So much so that I cannot even begin to write this blog entry. All the things I have learned have been good and powerful. They are things I would like to share with you maybe by posting it one at a time.
One essential thing that I have learned is that in the end, it is family that pulls through for you. No matter how much loyalty and understanding you get from friends, it is family that takes care of you.
I personally experienced this over the last few weeks. My family, both from the Salvadors and the Cleofes, have done their best to comfort me and to extend any form of help for me. At times, I don't think I have shown enough gratitude. But I am very grateful. It is just that sometimes, emailing, SMS-ing, even phone calls rarely transfer the warmth necessary with the statements.
Even as I type this post, there is so much I want to say. Somehow the right words fail to capture my thoughts and feelings. How can you truly express gratitude and love through this? And how can they actually understand my routines, my learnings, my life through emails?
No matter what, I have realized how essential family is to me. How much I have neglected building my relationships with them and how selfish I have been. Over the next few months, I am willingly going step by step in making sure my family feels they are an important part of my life.
