Family Naritive

Have you ever thought about what makes your family unique? If you have, did you find anything that was worth sharing? We all have something unique about our family. Alto we don't always know what it may be we have something interesting. My family is no different, we all have had skeletons in our closet and some are still coming out. My family is not a very close family. Everyone in our family has either moved away or lives near us and doesn't talk to any of us. Growing up I had to go back and forth between my parents and it was always very hard to adjust to going back and forth every week. Because of what has happened in my life my definition of family isn’t in the blood or the DNA it is in the bond that we form with each other. I consider people that I have created a strong bond with throughout my life part of my family. My family is very big to me, they aren't just blood they are also friends, my dad’s side and my mom’s side may be different but I will still love them no matter what.
My family is a very big family. We don't all know each other because there are too many people in my family to know. I am lucky if i know ⅓ of my family's names. I can go to a family reunion and only know the people I came with. Im sure that happens to a lot of family's but it seems to stick out in ours. We don't have as many family reunions as we did when I was younger. When i was growing up we would have family get-togethers it seems like every week. Now we are lucky if we have it once every 5 years. I belive that might be part of the reason as to why I don't know ⅔ of my family. It bums me out knowing that I could be passing someone in my family everyday and not know a thing about them. Its awesome when you get to meet someone new in your fam...

...happy, it made me believe I can trust her no matter what. Still today we have a stronger connection than we have ever had.
Whether my family be the biggest I know or my family include some of my closest friends, or my parents sides of the family be complete opposites i will still love them. My family may be big but there are all different types of people in my family from blood related to really good friends. Or may it be my parents family's are different in more ways than one I will always love them. I believe if more families were more like mine our world would be in worse shape than it is now. My family is always fighting over the little things and not trying to look at the big picture in things. I really hope when people grow up and have their own family they will try to get along and make the best of it. If they are together or not I hope they can make it work.
