My Family

The meaning of my family to me is respect and honor . I have many friends in my country but here my friends are my wife and my son . Yes , my family is unique to me . I was supportive but now I am here and my daughter is taking my pension allowance in Ethiopia .
I have good relationships with my family and my family is very important to me . There is no affection for any particular member of my family . I spend enough time with my family . And I spend time by talking to members in different countries . In my family we have the same tradition . Except for my daughter , all my family members are living with me . Even now I haven ’ t gone back to my country . They aren ’ t happy because of the war that is going on throughout the region .

I have a big and friendly family . My first family is my parents and my sister and brother . My second family is my husband , my son , and daughter . They are all an important part of my life . My husband and kids live with me in DC . My parents and siblings live in Tashkent , Uzbekistan . I ’ m close with my sister because we grew up together and we know all about each other . She is so kind . Our kids have a good relationship . An important value for me is caring for each other .
The last time I saw my family was seven months ago in my home country Uzbekistan . I miss them so much . When I lived in Tashkent we used to meet every Sunday at my parents ’ home , get together with the whole family for dinner and eat our traditional food , pilaf . I support my family emotionally . I call them every day . I have a really good relationship with my family . In conclusion , family is more than we can imagine .

I live with my daughter only . In El Salvador , I have my sister and her children . My grandma is in El Salvador too . My other family is here in the U . S . They are in different states . My father lives in California . My daughter and I enjoy living together .
Some important values for me are to teach my daughter so she can build her future and continue my education to reach my goals .
The meaning of my family for me is strength , struggle , love , loyalty , and trust . My family is small and unique because we love to spend time together and we can trust each other . I try to give my best and support the people I consider my family in everything I can . My family and I have a very good relationship ; that is the most important part of my life . I have affection for some people in my family , one person is my partner . He is not close to me , but he calls me and texts me every day . The other person is my daughter . She is the special person in my life .
