Family: The Support Group

Throughout life, my family has had its' ups and downs but through it all I have known no matter what they would be their when I needed them. When friends fell short or life just plain sucked they listened without judging because of their unconditional love. Now, I am completely aware some people do not have this privilege or are not blessed with a good family, but I am writing this from what I have gone through and observed in my other friends. I am one of six children, and I can always count on them to be their when no one else is, to put a new perspective on a situation, to give me a reality check, and to be my friends when no one else was there. My brothers and my younger sister truly are the best friends a girl could ask for because they are the ONLY people I know who are 100% real and honest. Many people talk the talk, but when it comes to walking the walk my family has always stepped in.
If you can relate please tell me about a time when your family really stepped in as your support group, or when you realized how fortunate you were to have that kind of unconditional love.
