Relationship Reflection

Relationships are very important and everyone should have a positive relationship with someone. Relationships are built on trust. It takes work to have a relationship and get it to work. All relationships do not happen at the same time nor do they last for the same time.

My relationship with my mom is one that I would not trade for nothing in this world. We have been close since I can remember. If you saw one of us you saw the other. We have been leaning on each other when we were down and we would talk about anything and nobody would know what we talked about. She passed in '09, and I missed her dearly. People say it will get easier at this point it still seems like yesterday. Since my mom has passed, my relationship with my dad as improved. I find myself talking to him more and being in his presence more. He has been in my life since I was born but I was just very close to my mom. My relationship with my children are inseparable. I love them more than anything. We are together all the time except when I am at work. I see them as my little angels that I have to take care of just like my parents took care of me. Nothing can come between the relationship that I have with them.

I have learned that relationships take work. A relationship only works with all the parties are equal participants. In a relationship, you must be willing to work towards the same goal. From the relationships that I have I know that I can build relationships with my parents. I will advise them that this is a working process and that we should be on the same page for their child.
