Family...

Family is suppose to care for you when your unwell or hurting because of someone. Family is suppose to be on your side no matter what happens. Family is suppose to love you now and forever. Family are the people you can trust, and the people who trust you. Family is suppose to be there when your struggling with money, love, kids, jail, anything imaginable. So maybe it's just my family, but we don't seem to trust each other, and or help each other very much. My so-called family is completely dysfunctional in every aspect. The only thing that holds us together is love. We love each other with a burning passion. Even if we hate each other, you can still tell we love each other very much. My family has some loose ends though, such as my uncle Cristian, whom my father is his older brother and my dad thinks that I look somewhat similar to him. Uncle Cristian is in jail currently, AGAIN, even after he's been in jail twice already, he doesn't exactly have good luck, now does he? My father recently got out of the hospital, and he's on meds because his arms and hands are still hurting, he had to get a CAT-scan at the hospital and I'm still worried because I haven't seen him in a long time. My other uncle, whom is my moms brother, his name is Angel, he found out his wife was cheating on him and she left and their kid with her. My grandma had some connection to what was going on and got some clues as to where she was and who the guy was and kept it from uncle Angel. You could say my family is dysfunctional and you'd be right, but you can't say we don't love each other dearly, even with our strong differences. And I'll finish off by saying that family is very important to me and that no matter what situation whether if your in jail, or your wife cheated and left, or your ill or unwell, my family is most loving and most dysfunctional family in the world and no one can change or denie it.
