Family Ties That Bind

Other things may change us, but we start and end with family.

by Anthony Brandt

It was a great day in Southern New Hampshire. Sindy was on her way out to jog along the lake outside her luxurious penthouse suite. She often used her morning jogs to clear her mind of things, so she could focus on the events of the present day. You see Sindy was a woman of many talents she loved to cook, scrapbook, read and volunteer helping the less fortunate learn to read and write in her community. However her greatest joy was spending time with her family, husband Michael, and her two children Shania, and Mark. Family was everything to her, but the harder she tried to connect with her family the farther she seemed to be growing away from her family. Her husband was always traveling or working that it appeared that their paths just passed long enough, to say what you want for dinner. Her children now teenagers were about doing what teenagers do, which was staying on the phone or hanging out with their friends. It appeared that no one had time to share with the family unless it was during the holidays and even then Sindy felt that she had to make an appointment with everyone just to feel a since of family. You see family ties our what bind family’s together right? Or was this just a fantasy that only occurred on television. Sindy could not understand why her friend Lori seemed to be able to connect with her family all year around, and when the holidays came around it was if everyone had not seen it other for years. What makes a family, she pondered on in her mind but as she did it brought up old memories of the past, which still haunted her, like the father she missed so greatly or the brothers and sisters she never had. You see Sindy had a great loss of her father Henry when she was fourteen years old. He died suddenly of a heartache. Plagued by finding her father dead in the bedroom of her family home Sindy was forced to grieve all by herself, as her mother was too grieved stricken to care about anything, except the loss of her friend and love of her life, to care that she had a daughter who was hurting, and who not only lost a father but a mother that day. As she came near the end of her run Sindy with tears streaming down her cheeks cried out Why can I not have my family back? As she looked out over the lake she saw the most amazing site, she saw a mother deer and her baby doe. The father was out a little beyond the trees keeping watch over his family. One day he would be there to help show his offspring the way of the wild. For Sindy who would be their for her? As she pondered this in heart she began it climb the stairs to her home and tried to begin her day thinking on more positive things like what would she do in the house today , or what things does she need to do within the community. Just as she opened the door to her penthouse the phone rang it was her mother Maria calling to invite her home for a family reunion in New Orleans Louisiana. When is it? It is going to be in August from 20-27, 2010. So do you think you can attend? Well I have to pass it by my husband but I am sure that he will agree to me coming, as he has a business trip to attend too around that week. Make sure you bring Shania as I have some things to give to her and some things I need her to help me do. Okay talk to you later.

Shania comes downstairs as she was on her way out the door to go to school she says Mom, I am going to stop by Ruby’s house to work on some homework and to practice some cheerleading cheers is that ok? Sure just make sure you are home for dinner around 6pm Okay Bye Mom. Bye I love you, I love you too."

Sindy gets dressed, and gets in her 2010 Alexis sun roof top and sleek gold and tan exterior car that her husband gave her for her birthday last year and takes of to the community center to help feed the homeless veterans. It is there that Sindy felt a true sense of Family Ties. Here some soldiers had returned from Iraq wounded, physically and emotional by the toils of war. Having been the child of a Vietnam Veteran Sindy could totally relate to the agony of having a father who was struggling to get orientated back into a civilian life after being traumatized by the causalities of war. Not only had some of them come home to no jobs but some of their mates had chosen to move on with other partners. Some had become homeless in the process of trying to find jobs that were none existent. However in the mist of all the agony and pain they were soldiers who had strong family ties that seemed to bind them to their families and keep them and their families strong. The idea of a wife standing by her husband when all his limbs were removed as a result of being blown off by a bomb or a single woman soldier who has to care for her children when one of her arms is gone, or she is suffering from Post Traumatic Syndrome was just some of the unbelievable cases that Sindy witnessed in her weekly encounters with the Veterans. As she went through the various Veteran Wards of the VA Hospital Sindy thanked God that she never had to see her son or husband go off to war. However she felt an emptiness inside that was present that told her though she had a husband that was home every night, he was always too tired to interact with her the way he did when they were dating. The romance that she once experienced seemed to be slipping away. Was it love that
