Choice

In my choice post, I want to talk about my own experiences with marriage and family in tact. My parents have been thankfully married for more than 30 years. I want to say 32 years, but for now to be safe let's say 30. (sorry mom and dad). They have had their ups and downs, three lovely children, and to me, my parent's haven't changed a bit. One thing I can appreciate about my parents is that they have always loved me and supported me. But what I've noticed is that the spark between my parents has never fizzled. My mom always tells me stories about how when they were younger they would go out together and always dance the night away at family parties. To this day, that still holds true. My parents are always the life of any party they go to. They are happy, outgoing, and positive people and I'm glad I've been able to inherit some of those traits. Whenever my family goes out, they always insist on taking a million pictures. But I guess a million is an understatement. My parent's mantra is to take pictures so they always have a memory of everything they do. Personally, I love this little hobby of theirs, because it is an easy way to remember everything we've done as a family, but also we treasure the moments we spend with each other. My parents love to have a memory and thanks to them, I feel the same way too, even though getting candid pictures taken every minute bothers me at times. 

My point is: my parent's love has always been strong and I think because of this, it keeps my family together. Even through the arguments, we remember what it is to love and be loved. Family is centered around love and without it, what would be the definition of a family?
