Family

     I love my family, and I also miss them very much. You see I joined the military about five years ago, and left my family back in Georgia. I try to go visit them as much as I can, but it's hard to do because it's so expensive to fly across the country. I come from a family of four including me, my brother, my mom, and my dad. My brother's name is Joey, and he is six years older than me. Him and I have always had a pretty close relationship at least when we were younger. He is currently in the Air Force,and is stationed in North Carolina. My mom moved to Florida when i was about 19 to take care of her dad. He was really sick and didn't make too much longer after that. My dad is still in Georgia, and has a new wife. They had my new little sister about five years ago. I haven't really got to see her very much, but i am going home for Christmas to spend time with her. So i guess it's safe to say that we are pretty spread out now, but we still try to keep in touch over the phone.

      Now i am living with my girlfriend in camarillo, and most of her family lives here. I have pretty much become a part of her family. I guess that family doesn't really mean blood relatives, but more on the lines of who you care about and who cares about you. I love her family, and consider myself a part of it. So yea family dosen't have to be blood, but just people who love and care about you.
