Family Bond

There is the dismantling family that has been imploding for some time now. Greed and pride have poisoned the once innocent children that I had heard of. Gone are the necessary norms that exist between family.

How do I know that family exists, well we can go without talking for years and once we meet again the conversation carries on from the exact point that we left off, no awkward looks or shy gestures. No sense of look at me I have become something have six cars a grand house, a company that worth more money then you dream of. That is family, never having to worry how someone has changed. People change, life changes people, if it didn’t then (as a great man once said) that person has not lived. But family goes beyond that, there is a rooted BOND. Some say it can never be broken, these days I’m not sure.

The imploding family is huge with every member going on a different road. I see everyday that the bond is there but it is being stretched as much as it can be. How can that bond survive the evils that try to break it? Can it be broken? You can go twenty years without communicating and still hold a bond that can last without either person knowing it. The sadness of death, the joy of marriage, new born children. Does that bond just simply happen? Brought to light by a major family incident.

How much can that elastic band that is bond take. From what I have seen for eight years is pressure, pain and madness.

The imploding family may go boom! Greed, pride and arrogance may take over, cause heartache and pain. But the bond is still holding together. For now. It is stronger then ever. It has to be.

More hard times are coming, is the bond ready for another attack. I like to think so.
