Family Blog



Families play a key role in the life of many people. Some know this, others are completely unaware of the major support they have from their families. Families are there to help when you do and don’t need it. One example of this is when someone is feeling depressed, usually they feel as if they have no one to turn to; when in fact they have an entire support group that is right there willing and able to help them. Now a more physical example of them helping is say when a family member is moving from one house to another. Family members will come out to help their relatives move so that they are not alone. Families are not limited to just blood relations; many of your close friends can be considered family for all the help they give. They much like most of your blood relatives are there to help you both physically and emotionally. But the biggest role that families play in the lives of people is that mainly your family wants to help motivate you. They want you to succeed in life. Many people think that their family doesn’t care what happens to them but deep down many family members, this including friends want nothing more but the best for you. Families also help many of their relatives financially. Sometimes it is for people to have help on house payments. Many other times it is for business reasons. Whatever the reason it is family is once again almost always there to help. Another time that family is there to help you is in times of mourning. Many friends and family members come together to help in times of mourning, weather this be from a death in the family or close friend, to the effects of a natural disaster. An example of this would be after the hurricane Katrina; many people took in this homeless family members and friends to help them. A family is the single most import role player in a person’s life. This can have many different interpretations’ of the word help, but none-the-less family is there to be with you. Family is the one thing in life you always know you can count on, even if you have no relatives that you can turn to; there is always a person in your life who is there and ready to help you achieve in life.

  2. Andrew I really like how you mention how friends are like family or better yet they are also considered family. In my life I have two friends that have been like my real brothers and saved my live on numerous occasions. I do definitely call them my brothers and introduce them to everyone I know as my family. Good point Andrew.
