The Things I'd Carry

        If i were in this situation i would probably bring the picture i have of my family. its not just any picture though.Its a picture of me and my brother and sister and mom and dad before they got divorced, i have it ina box at my house and i look at it all the time. Its just kind of a strong symbol to me and it reminds me of everything before there seperation and makes me realize how much i love all of them.  The picture is of all of us when we had first moved to maine and were were sitting in front of a lighthouse with the ocean at our backs, its something that i have had for a while that my parents don't know i have.
       I would carry this photo of mine to remind me of how much i love my family and how much they all mean to me. It would help me get through hard times and be my lighthouse that i would follow to get home safely. It would help me to remember everything that i have to look forward to doing with my family even though they are seperated. The photo is somethging that i keep to myself because i feel that my step parents would want to get rid of but its something that i love because its my whole family put together with my father and mother together like theyre supposed to be.
      Its hard for kids to grow up with seperated parents i know this because mine seperated when i was six and i had to grow up only seeing my dad twice a month until i was ten, and now i see my mom only rarely. When i do see her its hard to sit down and talk because she works alot. this just reminds me of when i had them together and how much i loved just being able to talk with them, and love them and have them be there for me when i needed them.
