Family Time

How important is family? When someone says, "I would do anything for my family." I often wonder exactly how far are they willing to go? Would they kill for their family? Would they die for their family? Give up a job/their livelihood for their family? I have recently been put to the test of what my family means to me and what I would be willing to do to spend time with them. For me, I am willing to give up my job for just a few, simple, but important days to spend with them. One of the most important things for me is that I spend my time with the people I love and that love me. In a way, we honor and show our love for one another by spending time with them-- just our mere closeness to them is a gift that is irreplaceable. In the end, isn't that the only thing we ever really had-- time on this earth?
