Family

I believe that family is a group of people that love you and make you feel welcomed where ever you are. It doesn't necessarily mean a blood relative has to be your "family", a real good friend can be family, or a special dog. If you share holidays with friends, they can be counted as "family". Families fight, argue, love, understand, care, welcome, bicker, and a lot more! That is all great because that is what family is all about.
I have a really big family that does all of the above...and we still manage to love each other! My family circle is a real big circle that contains many great people like.. My mom, my brother, my sister, my cousins: Monica, Veronica, Alexa, Catalina, J.R, Michael, Little Ricky, Ricardo, Fernando, Johnny, Danny, Mezmerea, Brianna, Kristina, Angelina, my aunts and uncles: Auntie Irma, Auntie Ester, Auntie Rosa, Tia Celia, Rene, Tio Angel, Nino Oly, Uncle Pio, Uncle Rick, my grandma, and my grandpa. My family deals with about 5 different generations! That is just my family in America, I didn't include my other side of the family in Mexico! But that will just take way to long.
My family is everything I said in the first paragraph with full of little traditions and get-togethers. Like every Thanksgiving, we go to my Auntie Esters house, for Christmas we go to my Grandma's house, for Easter we go to my Tia Celia's house, every summer we go to a secret campsite with our secret lake, and every 4Th of July we go to my Grandpa's house. We love doing these things because these events force us to spend time with each other, and we often need that in our everyday busy lives.
To me, the quote "Families evolve from a patchwork of possibilities", means that families grow and learn from the possibilities and events going on in their lives. The decisions they make, the choices they choose, will further the family and their relationship with one another.
