I am an only child so my parents are always with me, or I am always talking to them. My dad is gone a lot on business. I don't get to see him much, but when I do I cherish that. We talk at the very least once a week and that is very important. My mom is probably the most important to me. We are so much alike in looks, sense of humor, everything. Her friends and my friends say that we're twins. I have so much appreciation for my mom that probably stems from almost losing her once. I was only six, and looking back on it now, I really cannot imagine what would have happened to me if something happened to her. When I was six, my mom was in the hospital for four months and I got to see her every Saturday. I learned to look forward to that Saturday; but I never quite understood what she was there for. In the summer of 2008, my mom had another stay in the hospital where they thought she had cancer. That was very scary for me. I had already been through almost losing her once, I didn't want to do it again. Luckily, she did not have cancer but it opened my eyes and made me realize how important she was to me.
My cousins and grandparents mean alot to me, also. My cousin, Nick, just graduated boot camp for the Army and is now in Arizona for more training. His sister, Jessica is only four years older than me and I am very close to her. My other cousins, Matthew, Sarah, and Tonya I became close to over the summer and I wouldn't change that for anything. I helped babysit my cousins' babies, four under five years old (there are five but one of them went to daycare), and one of the babies that is only eight months old has to have heart surgery by the end of the year. My grandparents I cannot say enough about. When my mom went into the hospital those two times, my grandparents were always there for me and I stayed at their homes when I wasn't staying with my mom. My family means so much to me and I couldn't imagine going a day without them.
