Youtube Again

I deleted my account and created a new one.

A video has already been posted. However, it will most likely be taken down by Youtube due to the fact that it has copyrighted material in it.

I'll give you the link on a later date.

Ciao

Family

I'm watching Shay Carl's vlog, which is pretty much each day in his life with his family, currently his wife and fours kids. The video I'm watching is Sontard's first Christmas performance with his elementary school. His whole family woke up at 7:30 A.M. to go to his performance. It made me realize that if I ever have a family, I want to be there and go to every single one of their events possible. Just to see them.

My family never went. I remember my teachers and schoolmates asking me, even all the way up to high school whether or not my parents would be attending, and I would always say, "No, they don't come to these kinds of things, just 'cause our family isn't like that." The queries still made me wonder.I kind of wished they would sometimes, but most of the time I was glad my parents weren't there because I wasn't on good terms with them. I saw my mom as super controlling, irritating, and nosy, and I didn't really know my dad that well. But when my older sister came to events after she said she would (being a woman of her word, which my mother is not), seeing her in the bleachers, I would cry, because I was surprised that she loved that much and that I was important enough to her that she would some to my games and meets just to see me. Not to tell me to do anything, or correct me after the game, or compare me to a standard like my parents would, but just to see me.


Thankfully, the relationship with my parents has gotten better. I understand them better because I now have to make serious decisions and I have to discuss things with them, and therefore they view me in a more serious light. My mom is still a pill and I cannot be in the same room as her or do anything with her for a prolonged period of time without getting irritated, embarrassed, or angry. However, I can now converse with her like a human being, and give her some of the respect and care that she needs and deserves for all that she has done for me.

My family has done lot's of great things together that I will never forget, and that I am grateful for. This was just something I thought of, a thing that my family never did that I want to do for mine.

Thank you Shay Carl.
