What Family Means to Me

Friendship is amazing, love is beautiful, family is a piece of work!! Do you like that?! I thought you might. I'm the kind of person who just looks at life on a regular basis and thinks of how grateful I am. I just looked at my sister..........yeah. I was.....overwhelmed. She has grown up right under my nose! It seems as if only a day ago I was tickling her tummy, trying to make her laugh. Oh, when she was in her crib, I would get low where she couldn't see me and make her cry, on purpose. But, not for too long. Then, I would JUMP OUT and say: Here I am!!!! And her laugh........her.....smile.......that....was enough. That was all I needed. She was so much fun!


I can remember a time when I could be mean to my older brother and he wouldn't care!! One time, I was mimicking him while he was eating breakfast, and he just walked away. It was funny because my voice was really squeky and high pitched!! He is so nice. I look up to my brother a lot. And bro.....if your reading this....I'm sorry I got on your iPod!!

My Dad.....he is my BEST friend. I feel like I can tell him anything!! Literally.....ANYTHING!! He listens to me. He thinks before he judges. Which is something I think every girl wants. Ya know......now that I think of it.....I bet everyone wants that. We all want to feel loved and needed by someone. We want to know, theres somebody out there......that truly.......cares. I feel I have a lot of people like that. But....especially my dad!

My Mom......WHERE do I even begin with her?! I get my writing skills from her. By the way....you should check out her blog. http://www.mommy321.blogspot.com/ You should check it out! One day...she read me a poem that she wrote for her dad's funeral....it was beautiful. I feel that if your a good writer....you always know what to say to someone......in about every situation.....well.......not with my mom!! I'm kidding!! She actually does know what to say....and I'm still trying to think of what to say...........

"Love always protects".
