Family

As a child one grows up with their family  and that is something irreplaceable. At least for me that is how I feel about family. These are the people that will always be by your side no matter what. I have witnessed this many times in many different ways. For example, a mother's love is an immense feeling hard to explain.  As much love as my mother feels for me I feel the same way for her. For instance, when she is worried about something or sad for some reason I feel that it transfers over to me and honestly I could not feel happy unless she is.

Another example of this can be when your son or close relative is in prison. I think this is one of the worse things that can happen besides them passing away. I witnessed this in my family when my uncle Jaime was in prison. The first time he went to prison the family was really worried and all they could think about is paying the money in order for him to come out immediately and so they did that thinking it was only a mistake he did. Of course they gave him a little lesson, but he was a grown man already. Therefore, he should know better. The family let it go the first time like if nothing had happened and so my uncle found it easy in a sense. In his mind he said, " I'll just keep doing what I use to do and keep making money the easy way." He did not listen to any of the words my father and his sisters had to tell him and s landed in prison once again. This had all the family worried , but for some reason my aunts did not want to leave him in there for him to learn his lesson. He was the youngest of the brothers and so he came out once again with the bail payed off. He landed in prison a 3rd time and the bail he had to pay was a lot more this time, so he stayed in prison for a few years and I'm sure that every night was as painful for him as it was for the family.

Now  he is out of prison and we are all happy for him including myself. He was someone I always looked up to and still do for having the courage to go through everything he did. Although he was deported to Mexico for 10 years by the judge I am glad he is out. He lived here his entire life ,but he will be okay in Mexico since my grandfather has moved back there. The last time I talked to him was a few weeks ago and he tells me he is helping my grandfather with the lands. This year I have a reason to visit Mexico and I am very excited to go. It's been 5 years since I last went due to everything that is happening with the cartels and drug lords. On the 19th of December he will be starting a new life with his wife that he met in Mexico. I'm sure this means a lot for the whole family. It is the reason that my entire family will be going this December to show him support and for him to know that he is loved by all his family. Even though he is far away I rather him be over there then here where he can fall into prison once again any given day.
