Family and Friends

Human beings do not thrive when being alone so we need our family and friends as support pillars especially in difficult times. Having a strong network of supportive family and friends helps enhance our mental well-being.

Family is everything to me and coming from a big family i always had someone to turn to if i had any questions or problems. My dad was an only child and then man had four sisters. My parents always wanted a big family so they started with my brother Shane, then Aaron and then me.. They stopped at me because i turned into a big hyper child who had to always have their hand on the trolley when mam went shopping. My mother couldn’t keep me still for more than 2 minutes. I was the pride and joy of the family i lite up the room when i came in because i was the baby. But then along came Lauren 5 years later…

To tell you i wasn’t impressed is an understatement!! she stole my thunder.. my lime light and especially the baby of the family sport and to this day 18 years later she is stealing my clothes! I wouldn’t change her for the world as she is now my little best friend who isn’t scared to give me her honest opinion when i ask does my outfit look ok!! We have all grown up well and all thanks to my parents!

Plus we added a lil cute Jack Russel to our family and her name is Daisy!

Most of us have friends, or at least one friend. Someone we spend time with, someone who knows us better than others do, someone we can count on when the need arises. It’s been said that a friend is a gift that we give ourselves. There’s no doubt that a friend adds to the fullness of life. Honesty, and trust are qualities we expect to find in a friend. There’s an understanding that the binding together of people in friendship helps each of us define and realize a meaningful life.

I have made loads of friends over my years of school and sports. I have shared so many memories with people that i will forever hold in my heart. When i moved to college i met so many wonderful people that i will keep in contact with even when we are done. It says that family could mean more than family as you share a connections but i have been lucky enough to have met some many wonderful people in my life and i am blessed with an amazing family too!
