Some of the best things in life come from what you do not plan. Now it is said that family is the most important thing in life, let me tell this is true. Now when I say this I do not mean blood is family, by any means. I have good blood that I am related to, but I don’t really say that they are family to me. Some of the people I consider my family the most I have no blood with. Now this will be from both views of the people that are involved.

"The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb." This is the full saying that a lot of people say everyday. I bring this out for the fact that I grew up knowing that the person would be there if I called. Now in my life I have people that become like family for me. My actual family and I aren’t close for a few reasons. Now we get along but the way that we are doesn’t make us compactly as people.

One of the people that became family for me is my older sister Audrey. She has become a huge part of my life. We have stories of good and bad times that we talk about. We have each others back to the point of extremes. In the past eight years we have grown closer than what I am with my siblings. The way that this has happen is the fact that we have spent more time together.

Another two that has become family for me is someone that has become family to me is Korrin and Leah. They have become a little sisters to me. In which I have become greatly protective of them. In which I act like an older brother to them be teasing them also. However much I tease them, if someone puts a hair out of place I’m the first one to have a baseball bat in my hand. Okay, it may not be that extreme, but it helps prove a point that I am there for them when they need me.

Now for the last person that had become family for me, is by far the hardest one to talk about. He had become a brother to me before his death. This person and I were two peas in a pod. We had worked together at the theater doing lights and sound. He was a mentor, partner in crime, and most importantly a brother to me. Zach had a spark about life that inspired people. We were two people that were so alike that we honestly could have been brothers by birth. Now this closeness that I am saying that we had could be just me thinking this. He was a good man and a even better friend.

Now I hope everyone has good ties with their family. However if you don’t there are people willing to be it for you. Now enjoy time with them before it is too late to do so.
