My family is more important and I want to show I care
Your family is more important than your cloths or hair
They’ll be there for you every day
They’ll be there for lyou every step of the way
Not your friends not your date
Family love is the way
It’s kinda like your a tree and
everyone else are the branches, leaves or roots
Your leaves and maybe some branches are the friends that you think care
Most of the branches are the people
You’ve known forever
But your family is the roots and
They’ll be there no matter what
When you become a teen you think
Music and friends are everything but there
Not
You may not believe me but then you’ll
Learn the hard way
When they 1 day leave you out in
The dust and just forget about you like
A piece of trash
You might get mad at your syblings
Sometimes but iln 20 years when you have
No money and your living on the streets
Go to there doorstep and you’ll wee what
I mean
This is just to tell you that your
Family is important and you should let them
Know that.

My family means a lot  to me, they care about me, they would do anything for me They’re always there to support me wheterh it’s a soccer game, or a chorus performance they are always by my side. Even my little brothers’ like to think of as their super sister. Even though my brothers can be a pain sometimes, they’re always there to put a smile n my face when i’m feeling sad. My parents can be strict when they get amd, but I always feel comfortable talking to them about my problems, they always understand. I kow some kids who say their parents are just like that, but you know they care about you and they share embarassing photos and things like that with other people, because they want to treasure each moment with you. I guess what I’m trying to say is that no matter what my family does or says they’re still my family . They are always there to catch me if I fall and I will always lov ethem no matter what!

What My Family Means to Me

If I need a hug or a joke to cheer me up, my family is there for me. Although it’s just my dad and mom, they’ve always been there for me, as long as I can remember, providing in every way and giving that “push” out of love to keep me going. Like the time I wanted to ride a bicycle without training wheels but was afraid I might fall. They helped me by encouraging me and then letting me fall. When I have scraped my knees while trying, my family encouraged me to pick myself up again. They let me figure out my mistakes and I was proud I could finally figure it out by myself.

I might get mad at my family for letting me fail but if I remember why they do this, I know it’s out of love. I’ve learned the genuine meaning of family love, not the artificial and temporary love, the love that lasts for a short time and goes away, leaving a cold, deep, everlasting imprint. The love and feeling of “I did it” lasts forever, leaving a mark of happiness and pride. That mark means the love of my family.
