Family

     For me family are the most important people in life and this will never change. Not just parents and siblings, I’m talking about my grandparents, cousins, uncles, aunts, and even my dog that I consider family. I have so much love for them because they have always been there for me throughout my eighteen years I have been living on this planet and play an important role in my life. Growing up as an only child may be kind of hard for many children, but not for me because I had care and support from my family any time I needed it. Since I was five years old I have been living with not only my parents, but my grandparents and two uncles as well. Even though my uncles were much older than me it felt like they were my older brothers. When they weren't around and I wanted to play with someone around my age I always had my favorite guy cousin Steven. I remember always getting in trouble with him, but I enjoyed it because it made me feel like we had that older brother younger brother relationship. The house was never empty because my grandma would take care of all my cousins when they were on summer vacation. The years passed and everybody got older so we saw less of each other. Even though we didn't see each other during the week much, every Sunday the whole family gathers at my grandma’s house. We all take food and just have fun as a family knowing we are with loved ones that can always be trusted. I realized even though there are true friends most just come and go while family will be forever. Everyone should appreciate and love their family while they are still here.
