There have been many times I've wondered, why we hurt the ones we love? It seems that family members forget that their loved ones have feelings. Sometimes we take our bad days out on the ones we love. We may treat our friends with kid gloves and make sure we don't say things we might regret. When it comes to family, why is it so different?Don't get me wrong, I'm guilty of this too. However, since Erica passed away suddenly, I've been reminded of the importance of the words we say. You never know if the words you say right now, will be the last words you'll ever say, or the last words someone you love will hear. With Erica, our last words was just passing conversation. I couldn't have imagined I would lose my sister ten days later.
The ones we love deserve more respect than we would give a friend. When things get rough family should lift each other up and not tear each other down. I guess the golden rule should be remembered, "do unto other as you would have them do unto you." Look at the situation through your loved one's perspective and not just your own. At the end of the day family is what matters, we need the ones we love.
