My family!

                                            
   I am going to share a little about my family! They are my life, and with out them, I am not sure where I would be! 
   I am the oldest of four (two girls two boys) my parents have been together since they were 14, and have been married for 30 years! They are excellent parents. My siblings and I are very close! We all love each other very much and have a bond that is very special to me. My parents have devoted their lives to my siblings and I. They have sacrificed so much. I am grateful for them, and I'm very lucky to have them as my parents.
  My father has been a big inspiration, he has demonstrated what sacrifice is all about. He in my mind is the meaning of hard work. My father started his successful business in the basement of my parents first house in 1984. He was hands on in everything he did and does! He worked his butt off to give his family every opportunity and to make his kids well rounded. He introduced us to all different sports, and anything we took an interest in. I would not be the well rounded person I am if my parents didn't make the choices they had. My mother, I respect so much for being home with all four of us, she would drive this one to skating, the other to his hockey practice, this one to the tutor, and have dinner on the table when we got home! She dedicated her life to making sure we all were taken care of and had all we needed. 
  My parents instilled in us many lessons. One that I as an adult have been so appreciative of learning, is being accountable to all of our actions. My parents were NOT the parents who thought their kids could do no wrong. We had to own up to our mistakes, and take responsibility for what we did. I feel as though this was so valuable and a quality that others respect about me. I have no issue with saying "I was wrong" I think people are so quick to point the finger at everyone else but not back at themselves. I think when there is an issue, evaluate what part you had in it, and be honest with yourself! Things will work out in the end that way. 
  Every Sunday we have dinner as a family, I have been working more often so I have missed a few but its always so nice to have dinner and watch a movie with your family! Its nice to catch up and chat! I love my family and I can't imagine life with out any of them. I hope someday I will be half of what my parents have been to me.
