Family
Family are the ones
That freak you out
Family are the ones
Who beat the doubt
Family are the ones
Who make loud noise
Family are the ones
Who steal your toys
Family are the ones
Who make funny faces
Family are the ones
That no one replaces
Family are the ones
That shine like stars
Family are the ones
That we call ours
Family are the ones
Who are always there
Family are the ones
Who truly care
-A poem written by 6th grade Shelby at the age of 11
For most, you are born into your family. No one gets to pick what family they grow up in. No one knows the perfect formula for the perfect family. There is no such this as a perfect family. All over the world, people are a part of families. Whether it is a husband, wife, twelve children …show more content…
The hate that his sister Amy had for him only continued to grow as they became adults. Amy married and had two boys. After I was born, mom and dad had three more beautiful little girls and adopted a little boy. From the outside, both families seemed to be thriving and full of love and laughter. If you looked closer however, this was not entirely the case. Unfortunately the game of comparison was not left in childhood for Amy. She constantly complained of her boys being tyrants. Always comparing them to my sister and myself. She would say that dad had the easy life. That he never worked for anything and that everything he had accomplished in life and had worked for was really all just handed to him. OF course, this caused mild tension. Family gatherings were never over unless a few snide remarks were thrown between siblings. Lies were told and eventually one thing led to another. 2014 marks the last year that we will farm with my grandparents and my aunt and uncle. Not only have they chosen to break ties with us in a business aspect, but also as a part of the family. After the hurt and betrayal they have put us through, they are no longer a part of my family. No blood test showing that we have similar DNA will ever make me care about them again. I feel no obligations to extend any kindheartedness or warmth to them whatsoever. The heartache that they have put my family through …show more content…
We yearn for human interaction and the intimacy of being unconditionally loved and cared for appeals to everyone. We crave affection and demand to be loved. Family is not just the people you are related to, it is the people that you want to keep around you and the ones that you would never leave behind. They are not just blood. They are the ones who stick with you through the think and the thin. They are the ones that your heart longs to be with and that break your heart when you have to part with them. They are shelter from the storms, someone to share your faith with, someone to hold onto, someone to cheer you on, and someone to tell you how it is. They are your jury and your judge. They tell you what to do, and how to do it. They laugh with you, and at you. They share life’s happiest moments with you. Ultimately though, family is
