I never thought about clothes and shoes because I always have an extra pair.

Growing up I never really cared where the money came from.

I can always have what I want; I can always buy the things I need.

I got used to eating breakfast or dinner without them.

I have my brother and sister but we were never complete in the table.

I would lie where I was because I thought they dont care.

Now that Im all grown up I finally found the answers to all the questions I had.

I learned a lot of things about my life, about people, about my parents in particular.

I realized what my parents had to sacrifice for me to have a normal life.

I have to earn every penny.

I have to earn everything even trust.

That Life is not as easy as I thought it was.

People arent always nice, that there are people that will bring you down.

I realized that the people that praise you are the same ones that hate you.

That not all your friends are true, they can always betray you when you least expect it.

But most of all I realized what my parents means to me.

So I wont experience the life they had growing up.

I realized that everything they did, they did it because of me.

She will always be that one person who knew me behind my smile.

She knows me better than I know myself.

Family are the only people who will stick with you no matter what.

They are the ones who will not judge you for being yourself.

Sometimes parents may appear that they dont care but they do.

We might see them as superhuman but they arent and they get hurt.

Parents put on a brave face but behind it they carry the world in their shoulders for us.

There are things they are willing to give up just so we can have ours.

There are always missed moments but it doesnt mean we cant create new ones.

Just because we had crappy relationships doesnt mean we cant start a new one.

Family will give you as many chances as you need until you finally learn.

When that time comes we will be enough as well to our children.
