Family is Everything

Family to me, are those who are here for me through all my achievements and my motivators during my tough obstacles. I personally think I have a really big family, both including my immediate family and distant family. For starters my mom has 5 brothers and 5 sisters. My dad only has 1 brother, and I have 2 oldest brothers. I wish I had a sister, so I can have girl talk with, but I don’t, so that is what my mom is for. I am extremely close with my mom, and I am truly thankful for that.
Looking back at my memories, a lot of them have to do with my family.  Since I can remember, my family had always been really close. I saw my cousins more as my siblings. Considering how many aunt and uncles I have, I’m sure you can imagine how many cousins I have, a lot. My aunts, uncles, and mom would plan random days to have a family get together. There wouldn’t be an exact reason; just that it would be to spend time together. Till this day I always look forward to family parties, because my family is fun to be around.  I can never get enough of the all the laughs and memories we share and create together.
Of course, every family has their small problems, and we all have our disagreements, but at the end of the day we know we will be there for one another. My family has been through a lot of rough patches, and as a family we overcame the obstacles. Not only did we get through these tough times, it made us stronger and closer as a family. I honestly don’t know how I would be able to overcome certain obstacles without my family, specifically my parents.

With that said, I am truly blessed with a big loving family. I have had some friends who have said that they aren’t really close to their family, and it makes me think on how I wouldn’t be able to live a happy life without my family. I’m glad that I am able to text or call any family member if I ever need anything. Even if I just want to ask how they are doing. I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have them in my life. Family to some people may not mean a lot, but to me, my family means everything.

  1. It is good to always have someone to talk to, for you it is your mother and what better person to have girl talk with, right? I agree with you that all families have their disagreements but it’s also true that they should stick together when the going gets tough.

  2. Party's with big families are always fun, and a bit crazy at times. I share many of your thoughts when it comes to family.
