Family

Meet the Walker Family, one of my favorite "fiction" family on Brothers and Sisters TV series. The first time I followed this TV series, I knew it was not just an ordinary family drama. It enlighten me about what family suppose to mean and suppose to be.

Who inspire me the most is Nora Walker, the matriarch of the Walker Family and a widow of her deceased husband. She is a strong women, I have to admit and she always try to help her grown up children with their problems, even sometimes her children think that Nora is trying to intervene. And even their children think of her that way and even sometimes they argue and fight and stop talking to each other, Nora is the only person her children come to - she is there always for her children.

Nora is the perfect representation of how a mother should be pictured. Being a mother, it doesn't always to be perfect. But she always know what's the best for her children, even sometimes her children think that she just ruin it all or she just trying to intervene problems. Take Nora as example. I observed that she was the one her children came to every time they have reached their tip of problems. When they broke down and need a shoulder to cry on, they ALWAYS came to Nora and cry. And Nora just held them and said "It's okay, everything is going to be okay."

I am not a mother yet, but I surely learn a lot from her character. All you have to do is fight for your family and be there for them all the time and no matter how ruined the condition is.

Family, as well, it doesn't have to be perfect. It's okay if you have to argue and fight. But you have to make up to each other after that. You have to be brave to say sorry if you're wrong and you have to mean it. You have to be brave enough to say thank you, you have to be brave enough to hug them to tell them that you love them. Above all, you have to be proud of them.

There is such thing like perfect family. But sure you can love your imperfect family, perfectly :)

You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.
