My Family
Is Better Than Yours!
I grew
up in a large or extended family, filled with love and happiness, but once when I
went to the house of my best friend and while I was with her, I started to
think about my family, because I realized that they were more beautiful than
hers too, also more honest. I noticed that her father was less gracious and lovely
than mine.
When I
arrived to my house I began talking with my mom and dad and I told them all
those things I saw. Ever since, I’ve thought that my family is a blessing from God,
and I do have the best family in the whole world.
My mom
and dad were so proud of me, and started to cry, because they also realized
that I was the best daughter ever, so I was more studious and disciplined than
their friends’ daughter.
I
started to write every day about my family, all the things we make, do, and organize together,
like all the family trips and parties, because when I become an older woman I
want to read all my diary to my kids, and they will know better their aunties,
their grandpas, and also they will know more about me by telling them all the
crazy things I did when I was little, they would love to listen to those
stories; however, the most important thing that they will know about is
the meaning of family.
