GREAT-ful!

Today I had to spend 2 hours in the hospital, waiting to meet the doctor for my grandmother's follow up check up, which probably took less than 10 minutes.

Which is why I hate hospitals

But in the 2 hours plus, I talked to my aunt about so many things

School, my cousins, education etc

And I realised that I do like her company

In fact, I do like the company of all my family members

I am so grateful for the presence of each and everyone of them

They're supportive of me

They care for me

And most importantly, they love me

If only they knew how much it means to me 

When they listen to me

They talk to me

Not because they are forced to

But because they simply wanted to

It's so simple, isn't it?

I hear some of my friends complaining that their dad doesn't listen to them

Their mom just "doesn't get it"

Their siblings are a pain in the butt

I can't help but sit back and smile, 

Think to myself that

I am grateful that although my family is not perfect, they're still here

And not broken.

Just one of the few things to be grateful about

With that, I thank you, God.
