Bricks and Bulls: The Strength of Family

Every family must build a union that stands unshaken—just like the bond between God and man. We don’t choose our family, nor should we destroy it.

A family is built with bricks—love, trust, sacrifice, and patience. These bricks create a foundation, holding memories, protecting dreams, and sheltering hearts. But within these walls live bulls—anger, pride, misunderstandings, and pain. The bulls rage, they push, they threaten to break what was carefully built.

But the walls remind them: we do not destroy family.

When the Bulls Charge

Families are not perfect. There will be cracks in the walls, moments when harsh words cut deeper than any blade, when silence feels heavier than any argument. There will be days when love feels distant, and the people we swore we’d always understand seem like strangers standing beside us.

But no matter how much the bulls charge, the walls must not fall. Because when family breaks, the wounds it leaves behind are deeper than any betrayal.

The Test of Love

Love within a family is tested in ways the world will never fully understand.

  • There will be nights of tears.
  • There will be moments of betrayal.
  • There will be times when walking away feels easier than staying.

But the foundation of family is not meant to be weak. It is meant to bend, not break; to heal, not shatter. The strongest families endure the worst storms because they know that storms do not last forever.

Choosing to Keep the Walls Standing

Even when the bulls rage, even when the bricks shake, we hold on.

We forgive, because love is stronger than pride.
We listen, because understanding is more important than being right.
We mend what was cracked, because family is not something we let go of—it is something we fight for.

We don’t choose family. But we choose to protect it.

Because a family that knows its worth never lets the bulls tear it down.
