On last night's episode of Supergirl, at the beginning of the episode Ms. Grant told Kara "I will make your life hell." "It's worth it. Family always is," was her answer. This conversation got me thinking about issues in general that have happened between my parents and I or my sister and I. The most recent one being a huge disagreement about a life changing decision. Even though I've walked away angry, yelled at her or seriously felt like hitting her, she's still my sister and forever will be. I want her to be happy, but not at the expense of ruining her life.
Whether it's swallowing pride, apologizing like Cat Grant had to do with her son Adam or letting someone you care about face the consequences and pray they find their way back, having a real relationship with family is important. I never want to tell someone that I haven't spoken to my father in five years. Never. There are days where I feel like distancing myself but I always find myself missing their sense of humor or ability to erase tears. Family is something one should fight for and always put before others.
So in conclusion, I agree that family is worth every effort to keep the peace because friends come and go and relationships go south, but you will always have family to count on. I hope everyone has or will have that confidence. I realize we don't live in a perfect world and adults do stupid things, but if you do have family whether they are in the same town or not, do your best to keep on loving them and doing whatever it takes to keep you all together.
