Once family, Always family
Family, we all know how much they help us with our lives but when it comes to chronic illnesses they are everything. As I’m only in year eleven I rely on my parents for so much and without it I might not have made it this far. Suffering with hyper-mobility and arthritis is a strain not just on me but the whole family. Words cannot begin to describe what they do for me and how much I appreciate it. I may not show it all the time but they really do mean the world to me.
My mum drives me to every doctor appointments and to camps and in general everywhere. Not only does she drive me everywhere she has to pay for my school fees, my medications and anything that is essential in my life. Sometimes I can’t believe how much she does for me, I don’t know where I would be without my mum.
My dad apart from the fact that he works his butt off to get money in the house, he is there to make me laugh and support me through the tougher times. Yeah he might tell me to toughen up but I always know he is still there for me. And again I can’t imagine what life without my dad.
And last but not least is my little sister, sometimes I believe she doesn’t understand what I go through every day, but she understands completely, well as far as her mind can take her. She has done so much for me and I think I haven’t shown her enough appreciation. Without her though, there would be no life. She annoys me like crazy, yes, but I’m so used to it, I end up missing it when she is away. My favourite thing about my sister is that she is MY sister.
I love my whole family and I want to thank them for all they have done. It’s tough for me but my family feels the pressure too.
