Family. Your greatest treasure

Spent the weekend (or most of it) at my parents.

One thing if life that people are either blessed with or not, is the awesomeness of there family. I was extremely lucky in that regard. Everybody in my family is such a great person. My Dad turned 45 this Friday. For as long as i can remember my Dad has probably been the person I looked up to and respected more then anybody else I have ever (and probably will ever) know. He gave me my deep seeded sense of honor and respect for others. He taught me to love and respect others and was always fair and caring in all his dealings with other people. More then anybody else, I feel as though i reflect my father.

My Mum is an awesome person. She loves fiercely and has the heart of a Lion. She gets carried away sometimes but like my dad has a deep seeded sense of honor and loyalty that has also been instilled in me. Shes a bit of a stickler for manners and old fashion stuff :P which when i was little used to bug the crap outta me, but now i am very thankful for. I wouldn't be half the gentleman i am now if it wasn't for my mum. She gave me some small wisdom's in life that have always served me well. Small intuitions, the ability to see to the heart of matters and see what is truly troubling people. But more then anything else, i have my mums ability of loving something almost too much.

Well thats a little self reflection on who i am, and where i came from. I'll write about my brothers and sisters when i can think about it more :)
