A time where family stepped up to help

Family is not an important thing. It’s everything.

~Michael Fox

Without family life would not be the same. It was my family that helped when I needed them most. My family understands what is important to me, and no matter the situation, my family finds a way to make me happy. If I need a ride to hockey, a place to sleep or some advice my grandparents are always willing to help me out. 

It was late September and my mom was heading to the Bahamas for a relaxing vacation but she was only able to do this because of the help of my grandparents. They dropped their plans to give me rides, make dinners and many other things that they didn’t have to do but they did because they wanted to help my mom and I. 

Full of glee, delight and happiness my mom said goodbye as she left the driveway heading to the airport. My mom does so much for my family and she definitely deserves a vacation. I was going to miss her but I knew I was going to be in good hands with my grandparents. 

My mom could go on vacation without having to worry about someone watching us; she didn’t need to worry about getting her kids rides to sports, so she could just go on vacation and enjoy her time. She was able to go away because we have such a caring and helping family. 

It is important for everyone to have a caring family that is always willing to help.
