My father is a widower, has 9 children, we age from 26 to 40. He has 32 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren. After our mother passed 15 years ago we were all in our teens and early adulthood. Some of us were able to cope and adjust to her being gone. Some of us have still yet to find our way back to reality. I am second to the youngest, but most times I feel like I am the rock. I plan our family gatherings, run to everyone's side when they are in need of help or comfort, I am the middle person that keeps everyone in contact with each other. Although I look like I am holding it together, I struggle everyday. I worry and stress about my father's health, my brothers and sisters who are harming themselves and putting other's in danger. I hurt for their children that I cannot help, the looks in their eyes when I am able to keep them for the weekends, the relief on their faces when they come to my home. They know they'll have food and comfortable, safe place to stay. I know that it is impossible for me to save the world, but I get up and try everyday. My family has had it's losses, we've had our battles, right now, we need peace and comfort in our hearts. I just want all the hatred and anger to be removed from our lives.
Thank you!
