Man Of Courage

[Aimar]

Where are the man of courage? where are the man that are honest, humble, respectful, brave, strong, compassionate. where are this man that are husbands, Boyfriends, father, brother, friends... it makes me sad that now a days all the values of life are lost. The MAns that we should be looking up too are the one destroying our life. This world would be a better place is father would be a role model to those young boys growing up. That Father that would teach a young LAdy how to choose wisely on the man they choose as husband, how to value her as a women. those Man that make a comitment to protect, respect, LOve and honer their wives. Those man that will run the extra mile to make sure his family are safe. It breaks my heart that now man dont care about the most important thing in life, FAMILY! to trasure those special moments when their kids are young and all they think is "my dad is my hero"  when they first start to walk, when its their first school play, or sport. As a young girl all been traying to do all my life is to Prove to my mom and dad that i can do it. prove to my step dad that even though he made my life living hell didnt get to me.... trying Wishing for a happy family that will never happen. now i have grown a im proud of my self how far i become... how life was hard on me but didnt break me... how now I can help my little sis and brother to have a different life... Its hard im only 23yrs with a mom who is still longing for my stepdad that is in Jail.... its hard trying to have stability in my family... Only if my DAD would have courage to save his family to protect his family, to love an honor my mom... to be in life when i more needed him... my life would be a different story. Only if My grandpa (moms dad) would teach my mom how to be a strong lady, for him to tech her the things they DONT TEACH us in SCHool. if only my grandfather would of have the courage to save his family my moms story would of been different. this is a chain that has to be broken but is up to us to make that change. i want to break that chane in my future family in my own family... i want to make a wise decition for y self an my future kids. i want my sister to make the best choices in life, not just husband but school, work life over all. i want my mom to put her feet on the ground an look around her. that she has kids that still need her guidence (even me). i guess this is just Venting... tired of how man an women dont care about the most important things in life. Then when they get to an Old age start regretting... Too late, the best year are in the past. one day my sis will be grown smart women (i hope they will be) and my mom and dad will regret not been there when all we wanted was their LOve and protection.

sorry this was long... it just breaks my heart how life is turning in to something is not supposed to be.
i hope if anyone readign this will reflect an think... like my paster said " i dont want to be a good enough father, i want to be the BEst father, Mother" i hope the future holds the best for me family and every1.

Begin with YourSelf.  Make Your Choices and Your Decisions based on the Standards that apparently You have set for YourSelf in spite of the people around You (I commend You for that).  As for Your siblings, show them by YOUR example.
And Yes, there are Men of Character, Integrity, Sensitivity, who are "Honest, Humble, Respectful, Brave, Strong, Compassionate".  I'm married to a Man like that now.  There are also Men who lack those things I was married to one of those once.......and I learned the hard way that:

Love is a Choice.  It's Your (our) job to choose wisely.

You are absolutely right about breaking the chain.  When we are raised in a dysfunctional family it's very painful (been there, done that one too) but we get a 2nd chance and if we "choose" wisely we can, we really can build better families.  This I know is true.
Good luck to You.
