Relationships are extremely valuable to me. Each and every relationship, no matter how significant, has influenced who I am today. Once a person enters my life and forms a relationship with me, I care about that person forever. Humans are naturally social beings and need to feel connected with others in order to feel truly happy and content. Of course, my family relationships are most sacred in my heart. Family represents unconditional love. My husband and my daughter are my utmost priority. My parents, brother, and extended family have known me since birth. They have seen me grow and develop into the person I am today and likewise, I have seen them grow and develop. That creates a special bond that can never be broken.
Relationships certainly take hard work to cultivate. Both people have to compromise and be unselfish. In order to keep relationships going, you must continue to spend time with the person, share experiences with them, and listen when they need somebody. Relationships are also a two way street and will only survive if all people involved want them to survive. Relationships make life worth living.
You have a beautiful Family Melanie,
ReplyDeleteMy wife refuses me puting her online because she is just funny like that. I have posted this assignment before if you take a look at my blogpage. Good luck to you in your classes...
Melanie,
ReplyDeleteYou have a great looking family. I too am a believer of unconditional love and do not think I new the true meaning of it until my first child was born. I love my husband very much, but the relationship and connection I have with my children is such a different type of unconditional love. I really like that you said "Both people have to compromise and be unselfish". When both people are looking out for the other's best interest, then a true partnership is formed. Thank you for sharing.

I agree with my classmates, what a beautiful picture of your family! Unconditional love is a gift we give away and do not expect anything in return. We as teachers know what this is like in our classrooms, and some of us are fortunate to have our our children to also draw experiences from, which makes us so good at what we do.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your family and thoughts with us.

I agree with you Melanie. Compromise is the number one word when it comes to relationships. It is so important to be able to say you were wrong. Sometimes it takes me a while to be able to admit it!
