family

Love your family.  Through their tantrums and idiosyncrasies and dysfunctional behaviour and depression.  Through all the worst times when you almost forget what it is you love about them.  when you think it's their fault that your life didn't turn out the way it did.  when you can't.

because there will be a day when you will know they are the ones who loved you the most. 

what's more - you will want to love them more than you can, and will wish you had loved them like that from the early days...

don't apologize for the mistakes. it's a waste of time. set them right instead. start loving.

your mother, your grandmother, your husband, your wife, your kids, your ex-wife, your uncles and aunts, your godmother...

they are the best friends you can hope to have, because they were given to you.  they were given to you to teach you something.

learn it well, so you don't have to learn it again a second time.
