My Family History
The topic that I decided to write about is My Family History. The reason I wanted to write about this topic is because I don't know much about my family. I hope to get a better understanding of why I never knew much about my family.
I have always been close to my immediate family on my mother's side. I guess I should explain a little more. My parents were never married. I have two siblings from my mother and six siblings from my father. That created a separation between my family. As a child I was raised in my mother's home. My father was always there. Due to the fact that he had other children, we never really saw each other much. I wanted know about my brothers and sisters and what they thought of me. To be honest, I don't know much about any of my distant relatives. My mother tries to sit down and explain different things. It's all still confusing to me. I have always been a family person. I wanted to know who was who. I think that's why I stress family to my friends and children. I want my kids to know their history and where they come from. I want to be able to sit down and tell them the history of their mother and father. I enjoy the times when the whole family gets togther and start to think back on old times. I sit and listen because it is all fascinating to me. My children are young now, but I hope to capture moments that will be important to them later in life. They will appreciate me for it.
There is so much more I want to know about my family. I want to gain a strong relationship with all my siblings. The main thing I know about my family is that it isn't always up to my elders to educate me on my family history. I can do reserach on my own.
