My family is very important and a family should be important to everyone because that is what helps you grow and the people in your family love and care for you very much. I think that everyone should be thankful for their family because without it everyone in the world wouldn't have someone there to care or help them. One time, when I was lost in the mall, my parents started looking for me and eventually found me and once they did, they hugged me and kissed me and they showed me how much they loved me. There have been many times when I needed my family, and I am so thankful that I have one.
