My Family Tree

In this picture it looks like an ordinary tree but it’s really not. It’s strong and each branch to me is like its own family. My family is very strong and has been through a lot. Even though they come from rough and poor childhoods it doesn’t let that get in the way of them living life to the fullest. My family always makes sure that everyone is happy because a minute of sadness is a minute of happiness you can’t get back and life is too short to be anything but happy.

Most of my family were born here in New Mexico but didn’t always live in Albuquerque. No matter where life takes us my family always manages to stay close together. We try and stay close because we think of it as if one of us passed away and we weren’t close to each other we would regret it. We would regret not being close because once we had a chance and now it’s gone so that’s why we stay together. In my family there are a lot of us grandchildren and great grandchildren. There is very little of us girls but that only means we have them to get us girls tougher. There isn't a really big age difference with my cousins and me so I like that to we all have a lot in common.

My father’s side of the family aren’t that close though it almost seem like they are jealous of each other. They can go months without talking to each other. I don’t like that because that’s not how a family is supposed to be. I am pretty close to my dad that’s what really matters to me because I need him in my life and I’m glad that he is. He tries to be a great dad and in my eyes he is. Both of my parents are the best they keep me happy I love them both so much. Even though we all get in arguments we always remember we care for each other. That’s all that matters and other that my family is wise, loving and like to do good for other people.

Like I had said my family is strong they don’t let anything get in there way of doing something and even at time we are very competitive but at the same time very loving. We work and stick together as one! Having a family history is very important because our next generation or the generation after that wants to know about our family then they could look up our family history and they could know what kind of family they had.
