Family Fun on the beach

The day I spent in the sun with my family
I think spending time with family is important no matter what. Sometimes you need to compromise in order to be able o spend time with your children if you are in a situation that someone else is raising them whether it is relatives that you have a hard time with or others too. I was so happy to spend the afternoon walking the beach,talking,finding shells and enjoying see the smiles on my teenagers faces. 
I may have a hard time with my mom but I put my differences aside since my children wanted to be with me and walk in the sun on the beach. I know from being a teen that they are temperamental and you cherish the times they want to be with you.
I love sharing the moments I found happy with my children. I will share more amazing moments with my two teenage children. Luke is 13 1/2 and my daughter Tabitha is 15 yrs old. They are my world and mean so much. I mean children even when we were kids thought our parents aren't cool to hang with and do not want to be seen with you. You all need to hold and cherish every moment with your children no matter what the age or circumstances surrounding them. Every child needs to know they are loved no matter what they do or mistakes they make. They all need reassurance at times to know someone is gonna help them no matter what. Be the first one to make a move to show them that they are important and you will help them and show them a way to learn from their problems and mistakes. You need to make sure they know no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes it is just  how someone chooses to do with the lessons learned.
 I know it is hard to let go and let our children fall but that's how they learn. But we need to be around in order to show them how to learn from what they did and tell them it is okay. Forgiveness is a big thing in life no matter the age you are but sometimes you have to forgive someone before they can forgive you. Also remember to forgive yourself is important and hard to do.
Lets enjoy life this summer whether it is at home or on a beach somewhere.

Children are our future lets show them the true meaning of love by loving ourselves and everyone around us.
