family over everything

i’ve always been a very family oriented person, but this weekend has shown me how much i truly value family.
we spent the weekend away at a cottage, and there was a scary accident that happened. while paddle boarding, my mom went right into some rocks and hit her head and ended up braking her wrist. it was one of the scariest things i’ve ever experienced. i tried my best to get to her because i saw her going towards the rocks, but i was 10 seconds too late. i ended up all scraped up and bruised because i didn’t even think about my own safety. all i could think was: mom needs me.

i learned that i’d do anything for family.

whether related by blood or by marriage or by choice, i’ll always choose my family over anything else.

i’ll always fight for my family. i’ll always protect my family. i’ll always love my family. family over everything.
