For Family: to hell and back

Family

Family has many meanings and forms. Family is the people that show their love and care through your own life. The people that go above and beyond to lend a hand or make sure everything is ok. Family is forever there is no way around it even when family turns their back you watch out because that’s how family should be. Not all families are like these, in today’s society you see families being more open minded about how they care for their kids where it has gotten to the point where one families are careless of each other’s wellbeing. Other families deal with problems like mine which having family across different countries. Yes we may be far apart but the beautiful thing about a family untied is that it does not matter how many days, weeks, months or years go by, we just pick where we left and you may think this might always be the issue especially if you haven’t actually met most of them. . Being blood does not always have to be the reason why you call each other family. It is now common to call your friend your brother or sister because how much you two have been through especially if you end being a single child. My family in general I wouldn’t trade for anything in the world even though at times they are a pain in my neck and I know if they were not around I would not be complete.  We have our shares of battles, struggles, and moments just like every other family. The beautiful thing I believe in the word family is that it give a sense of hope. When I have problem in my life whether it was big or small the fact you have my family to help me if I needed relives ones train of thought. It gives me peace of mind. At you least you know someone cares no matter where you go. Every family has their own traditions from taking trips to other states or countries, to following the footsteps of their ancestors. Some of the traditions me and family share are taking trips to Las Vegas and Mexico every summer, and sometimes in the spring and winter. As I get older and older family will only grow more important because in this world are you only certain number of things and one of those is family. Your family is all you have when you have nothing. Never forget where you come from and those helped you along your journey of life.

  1. I like what you said that there are only certain things that we have and one of them is our family. No matter what happens to us, they will always have our back.

  2. Family is definitely all we have when we have nothing. I also agree that others who aren't blood can be called our family as well, those are special relationships.

  4. That is exactly what I believe, which is why my family is also my friends. Those who do help you are considered family, because no matter what they will be there for you.

  5. My family are the closest people to me. Their love in unconditional and family has your back no matter what the circumstances. I also agree with you on just because you aren't blood doesn't mean you cant be family.

  9. The best people to turn to when something bad happens is your family. There by your side in whatever situation one faces.
