My Family

My family is quite large to say the least. Well, actually when you think about it my immediate family members are a small group of people. The obvious, I have two parents that are still happily married, an older sister, my loving brother-in-law and their son, my nephew, William. I think they are the most important people in my life, they have always been my influencers. My sister is my best friend and even though we rarely agree on things I still consider her my sister. My parents on the other hand, well they are like your typical parents. My mom always telling me to do chores around the house and still secretely giving me money for lunch and keeping all of my secrets to herself because dad wouldn't like some of them. My dad, well he has changed a lot while my time growing up, he always used to have a very short temper and make me feel like I was nothing but as time has gone on he has become better at it and is now doing things to make himself calmer. I think he trys to be calm now is because one day I told him that if he kept up the mood swings that he did he wouldn't be able to see me and my sister grow older. I really appreciate what I have in life, even though we all have times when we don't seem to care at all about life. I believe I have lived a good life, and if something tragically happened to me today or in the future I would be able to say I had a good life because I had such a great family.
