Family

What is family?  Well, today, family is me helping out my uncle.  His truck broke down and he is very sick.  So I went and helped diagnose his truck, showed him how to fix it and where to get the cheapest parts online and then I gave him my spare car to drive.  Now I don't say this to brag, I say this because I believe this is what family is about. I try to stress this to my brother who doesn't want to live close to home.  Some day I hope he sees the importance of family.  God has blessed me with resources, some people think it frivolous of me to own one more car than I need.  I think that it's something that God blesses me with to bless others with.  I have been down and out before, I have needed a car and had to pay rental fees out my ass. One year I paid so much in rental fees I could have bought a car, I just didn't have the cash up front and had to use credit cards and go check to check.  I want to be able to alleviate this problem for members of my family and keep them from having to experience that.  To me, this is part of what family is about.  Some times I love it, sometimes it's hard, but family is family and you can't change that.  We live together, we love together, we work together and we suffer together.
