Family

An essay of Eldefonso O. Garapan Jr

In hardships and comforts, just be with them is enough for me , laugh together,
laugh out loud, you can lean on them any time you need, their support is endless,
they will guide you in taking the path you want. They are my family, the people that I
know I can trust and count on, my family is the first person that will be trust on my
ability, they are always there any time that I need to lean on or need them. How
important is family really?

From my childhood they are just a place of refuge, complete when the sun is
up, I will wake up in the morning and I will see them smile immediately. My family is
very important in my life, without them I feel like I don’t exist either. My parents are
the ones who work so that we have something to eat, my siblings and I happily play
in our yard, we will chase each other, hide each other, until we are tired. This kind of
joy is felt in the family, their smiles are great if they are taken care of. We trust in
each other and we will never fail. My parents’ guidance for me I really much
appreciated. My family is the people that I can’t lose in my life, lose the thing that I
have, but not my family. There are times when we face severe problems, it becomes
a reason for our discouragement, I always wondering if we can overcome it, but if we
are complete I know that we can handle it, we can overcome all trials as long as we
are together. My family are the people I know I can lean on their shoulder at any time
and their support is endless. All the time I know they are there for me to lean on, I
sympathize with all the problems that come. I wonder what the meaning of family for
other people? But for me the meaning of family is love that has no end that is always
there no matter what happens, just like my family that I know never leave me in the
air and always support me.

There are people we don’t choose, one of them is our family, our family is
given by God. But our family is the people who trust us completely, their love is has
no ending . They are always there to accompany us in times of sorrow and joy.
