My life isn't perfect, but it does have perfect moments. How about you?

My family belongs to the lower class way of living. I grew up separated from my parents and brothers because I stayed with my aunt as a working student. I found my life not perfect because I was away with my family, was not able to eat with them together. But I do have perfect moments because I was able to survive until I finished my studies and earn a degree. Now I have my own family with two kids and I don't want my children to be separated from me until they finish their schooling. To have happy moments with them.

I wouldn't consider myself to have a perfect life either but i would say that i have a good life. At the moment my family are going through hard times with money with my sister going to university and the recession but at the end of the day, i have a loving family and a lovely house. I have a tv, computer, laptop, games system and for that i sometimes take for granted and i sometimes complain. However, my family does have its moments and i am actaully very glad that i have such a loving and wonderful life!

Sometimes the moments you feel not perfect are the gifts that god gives you. He must give you another perfect moments. Good luck.

a pleasant day uolyram,
i guess, there is no perfect family. with my situation here, its different, me and my siblings have grew up together with our mom & dad. although we grew up together, we are not having a good relationship at all. or maybe, my family is somehow exceptional.

Hi uolyram. Actually we were in the same situation 20yrs ago. Both my parents went abroad for work and I was left to the care of my aunt together with my 5 year old brother. It was freaking hard especially when there were meetings and events in school that needs the presence of my parents. They arrived when I graduated from primary school and from that day on I never allowed them to leave again. Now I'm 31, a wife, a mommy of a two year old smart kid, I can say that this is a perfect moment for me. I will never allow that thing to happen again. Never with my own family.

I must say life isnt perfect but it does provide us with perfect moments. Different people with their own sets of burdens and trials. Fortunately, I did not experience having to work to pay for my studies but i did experience being away from them while studying. But now that I am working I appreciate the hardwork and sacrifices working students did. When I was reviewing, i experience what it felt like to work 8 hours or more then attend a class for 3 hours requiring your brain's full attention or the review then work. It was not easy managing time and battling with tirediness. Its a sacrifice but life in total is not bad, i do get to meet new people in the class and interact with them.

Hi friend, sad to hear about your childhood, really you missed your parents at that time and know about the pains, so only you don't allow your kids to miss you. wish you to live with your family members with full and full happiness for a long time. Good to hear about your story.

I don't think anyone is able to say that their life is absolutely perfect, but we just have to make the most of the things that we do have, and remember that there are a lot of people in the world who are in a much worse position that we're in ourselves. I went through a long time of being unhappy with the way that my life was going, and I spent time talking to my friends about it and that made me realise that everyone feels the same about their life. Everyone also has good times, and if you think about those they are bound to outweigh the bad times.

Life is sometimes sad. It's not good to be separated from our parents and siblings but if that is the only for us to survive, we have to go through it whether we like it or not. Hope you'll enjoy every moment with your kids.

You don't have to regret your past with your family. Nothing is wrong. All for a reason. All people don't like parting with loved ones. It's not perfect? I'm sure your parents are sad to read your writing.
Now you have a family. Sooner or later, you must be separated from loved ones. But don't say "not perfect" next time!
