I am who I am...I am human...my family is human. Are you human?

We as humans are very judgmental people. We judge people on their looks, their financial class, occupation, cars they drive, color, habits, choices they make just because we do not understand them and sadly which team they pull for on Saturdays. Being a judgmental person isn't something I have struggled with. NO, I didn't say I haven't done it. NOR did I say I will not be guilty of it again. BUT just like everything else some  folks struggle more than others. Everyone knows a few of them- that arrogant person who thinks they are always right about EVERYTHING and everyone else is wrong. To this person, nothing and I mean nothing anyone else does is ever "right".  These people can not accept people for who they are UNLESS they are just like them.
As in every situation there are always circumstances that do not fall into the norm, I understand that.
Some might say that I am being judgmental by pointing this out. I am just stating the obvious...a known fact. WOW, there is a word to think about.. FACT....FACTS.
FACT-a true piece of information/knowledge or information based on real occurrences.
My family just went through a change. A change that many others in history have gone through and many more will go through in the days to come. In this change there have been many ups and downs...and there will be more to come. My family is working through this, probably better than most do and or will. I didn't say it was easy, BUT we are dealing with the changes the way we see best for all involved...which means our family.
 I do however believe that the hardest part of this change has been the outsiders (sadly some we use to call friends) who do NOT know FACTS who take it upon themselves to JUDGE me, judge us. I do not claim to be perfect, nor do I claim for my family to be perfect for we are all human. So my advice to those who have pulled away, turned up your nose, chose not to speak when spoken to....I will pray for you. I will pray that when you go through a change, cause it will happen,  any kind of change, one of choice, one you could not control, one that NO ONE could possibly understand because they are NOT you nor have they lived your life, your journey, that you too have the strength to get through it with the few friends and family members that show their love and support.
When my brother was diagnosed with cancer he said " now I must decipher between the caring and the curious. I will cling to the caring and kick the curious to the curb." Well folks, enjoy your seat on the curb.
