A Link of Chains

My family is the gravity that keeps me on the ground, keeps me standing, and keeps me from floating off.

We are an amazing family! One of the most important people in my life is my mom, Melisa. She is the best cook in the world and my favorite meal is her ravioli. My mom is very helpful. My room is always a mess in the morning but when I get home from school, I am puzzled by how clean my room is! Most important of all, my mom is loving. No matter how many times I mess up, she will always love me. She is an amazing person. She is the leader, she is the chef, but most important she is the most amazing Mom in the world. She is my out- of- school teacher. She knows so much about so many things. She taught me how to do long division, multiplication, and much more. She loves telling me everything and always can answer my questions.

My dad, Mark, says I am the king and he is the knight that will protect me. Dad is an amazing athlete. He was so good at football that he played in the NFL. My dad teaches me everything he knows about sports. I wouldn’t love sports if it weren’t for him. My dad is also a clean freak. He flips out when the smallest dust bunny scurries across the carpet. He always bugs me to clean up my room but if I don’t, he just does it for me. Most important, he is caring. My dad is the most caring person you will ever meet. Just because he played in the NFL doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have feelings. He is very sensitive to. Just like me. My dad is one of my role models. You can learn a lot from him and it might not even be about sports! 

My three sisters, Mia, Mckenzie and Isa may seem sweet, but they are DEVILS! Isabella is the oldest and she is twelve. She is an amazing athlete. We belong to club that owns horses so my sister has to be there 24/7.  Mia and McKenzie are twins and they are really good athletes, too. They are eight and are also sports fanatics! This year they wanted to play baseball but they weren’t very good, so they asked me to teach them. Now that I have taught them everything I know, they are really good!!

One of the most amazing people in the world lived in my house; his name was Abraham Harry Zemer, Harry for short.  My great grandpa was the best card player on the planet. He would beat you at bridge, poker, war and any other game you can think of. He passed away while I was at Sound View Day Camp. My life has been changed ever since. I have never had someone pass away in my family. It was the saddest moment in my life. I have never cried so much. Now every time I walk into his room, I see him lying on the bed and I start talking to him. He was an amazing person. My eyes say he’s still alive and so does my heart. Now my heart has turned into a puzzle, and I am missing one of the most important pieces.

My family is a link of chains. If one of us breaks we all break. But if one of us is strong then we are all strong!!
