Family

My idea of family is basically the people around you. Like the people that live in oyur house such as your parents. Also I would include your realitives even if they live somewhere around the world. I believe that a family can include a mom and a dad their kids their close realitives and pets. the people in my circle is my parents my aunts and uncles here in the Bay Area and also the ones that live in the Philippines and around the U.S. It also includes all of my 1st and 2nd cousins that i hang out with when i get a chance to see them. My immediate family is pretty small just being myself , my parents, my two aunts and uncles, and my 5 cousins. Well thats pretty big but if you include everyone that still live in the Philippines i have a very big family. Its so big that sometimes i meet people that I don't even know that I'm related to till either my parents or they tell me unless i know. i believe this quote "Families evolve from a patchwork of possibilities" means that families were once just thoughts something small but as time moved foward the family grew and grew to what it is today.
