Persuasive Essay About My Family

The world was soft and warm. There were sweet voices and bright colors that surrounded me, begging for comfort. I lay with my small body swaddled in a blanket, resting on a soft green sofa. My head propped up on a plump pillow facing the fireplace. The sound of the sweet voice in my ears and the smooth blanket eased my aching. My brain pulsed behind my eyelids with every movement. My bones were stiff and sharp, but still gave me the urge to move them awake again. I arch my back and widened my arms, my fingers outstretched to the room. My hand falls on something wet and cold. I grasp it and am met with a hot slimey tongue over my fingers; a greeting. I turn to meet the wide brown eyes of my companion, the one who refused to leave my side from the beginning of my harsh fever. He whined and laid his jaw on my belly, still not taking his big eyes off me.

As I sit in the car on a breezy summer day with the windows down talking to my mom we were on our way to meet my dad because it was his weekend. When we arrived, I went into my dad’s car and started to play on my smart phone. I was so utterly bored on the way to his house until my dad got a phone call. I had no clue as to what was going on, my dad had a confused and panic stricken look on his face. He hung up the phone and calmly said “We have to go get grandma, Uncle Steve was in a bad accident.” I immediately texted my mom and told her what was happening. We got to my grandma’s house and took off to a hospital in Illinois. On the way to the hospital my dad received a phone call from my Aunt Sandy. I carefully watched his facial expressions as he talked, his face slowly turned bright red and I could see tears forming in his eyes. I knew that something horrible must have happened. I was so scared of what the news could be. My grandma looked at my dad and nervously asked “Doug what’s wrong? Your face is red and you have tears in your eyes.” Dad shook his head, “nothing ma, everything is fine,” his voice cracked as a tear rolled down his red face. Then I knew something terrible had happened.

My grandfather’s body was slumped over on one side of his wheelchair, and I screamed when seeing his face turning purple. A few moment later, my father ran into the house, and he immediately drove my grandfather to the hospital. The doctor told my family that my grandpa only had one week left to live. The next day, my father saw a text from my uncle saying that grandpa has passed away eight o’clock in the morning. My father felt regret since he did not have the chance to see him for the last time. I was overwhelmed and shocked by what my father told me. My legs were shaking, and my heart was pounding faster than the beating drum. It was at that moment my eyes started to become blurry because my tears slowly ran down my cheeks. My grandfather was the most inspiring man that I had ever made in my

Imagine being crammed into a tiny space with your annoying sister and your gross brother for 48 hours!! with nothing to do but complain. My family and I are not close whatsoever.We aren't the type of family that eats dinner together and congratulates mom on the tasty dish she made that took hours.We don't go on family vacations E-V-E-R. We don't hug each other when we are upset, so already I think you get an idea of how bothersome my family is. We argue for the most ridiculous reasons.We are like lions and tigers fighting over who gets the piece of meat.So when I tell you what a pain in the butt this road trip was, I’m not exaggerating!

Around six to three months before this tragedy occurred, my grandpa’s health had taken a turn for the worst. We would be awake at midnight, hearing him violently vomit crimson colored fluid. He couldn't get up or walk without my mother or grandma’s assistance. A brutal cough would take both his breath and voice away. Yet, he was so understanding and caring of both my brother and I. He would do everything he could to play with me or tell me a story, since he knew that I didn’t know any better. A couple months before his passing, I came home from school to find no one home except my anxious looking aunt and my then three-year old cousin. I remember running to my grandparents’ room to greet my grandparents, but when I opened the door, no one was there. I ran to my aunt and asked her where everyone was. I could see in her face that she was worried, but she tried to be as calm as possible so she wouldn’t scare me.

The childhood memory that vividly can't be erase out of my mind when my grandmother died from cancer and diabetes. It was sad day, as my family seemed clam once everything has been planned for my grandmother funeral. My aunt and uncles rushly have gotten ready, but no one seemed to have told the children to get ready.The memory of that day will forever hunt me for a while ,knowing that my grandmother loved me so much. I was not able to attend her funeral. While everyone seemed occupied. I took it upon myself to get dress, maybe they had forgotten about me with everything that was going on. I was one of my grandmother favorite grandchildren. My grandmother had a lot of grandchildren but I felt in my heart I was one of her favorites. I my mind I told myself that I needed to be there to say good bye to my grandmother and this was the day that I needed to be that big girl my grandmother told me to be. I decided to get creditable myself with what ever efforts to get dressed. Running to the laundry room looking for that floral dress my grandmother bought me, was like looking for a needle in a hay sack. Big black bags appeared all around me, of smelly mildew clothing. Family members implicitly walked around the house with not a care of the children. I impatiently waited and asked my aunt " have you seen my flower dress that my grandma bought me with flowers all over it?" I said

Trying to be strong-minded, I asked to go back to school three days after my dad 's death. I remember getting on the bus and everyone 's eyes were on my siblings and I. Life had gone on the same around us, but yet everything in my family 's life had changed drastically. I remember when I first sat down and the girl in front of me named Zoey turned around to speak to me. She was several years younger than I and lacked a filter as so many innocent children do. She looked at me and asked, "How did your dad die?" I remember immediately feeling overheated and while I had been trying hard to act like nothing had changed, I felt that a bus had slammed into me again.

I clearly remember the day I found out about my granddad's passing. I was at school. It was a normal, joyful day. My dad was planning on picking me up, but instead my friend's mom picked me up. He would not tell me why, but I did not think much of it. I remember the car ride to my house. My friend's mom would not tell me why she was driving me home; all she told me was, "Just know, Ryan, that we will be here for you no matter

The day I found out that my grandmother had passed away was the saddest day of my life. I remember waking up that day in a wonderful mood. I was starting my last semester of high school and I was excited to go and see my friends, but I had no idea what was happening at the hospital my grandma was staying at. There was a point during the day where I got an uneasy feeling in my stomach, but I just ignored it, thinking I was just hungry. On my way home from volleyball practice that day, I passed the street my grandparents lived on and saw that both my mom’s, dad’s, and my uncle’s car was at their house. Starting to feel concerned and worried, I thought about turning my car around to figure out what was going on, but I decided to leave it alone and wait until my parents returned home. That night when I got out of the shower, my parents told me that my grandma had passed away. It came as such a shock to me because I saw her just two days before, and she seemed like she was doing better.

Anybody who knows me, knows that my family situation is pretty crazy. Just describing my immediate family sometimes baffles people and leads me into having to explain in more detail the constitution of my family. For starters, My mother came from the Philippines and my Dad is currently 77. Let’s dive into the details of my family.

When I hear the word family, I think of people who are are blood related, the people you live with, and the people you see all the time. They provide for you and embarrass you. People are also family, even if they aren’t blood related, but are there for you no matter what and they mean everything to you. Family is always by your side when you need them. People hear family and think about parents, I hear family and think about my parents, aunts, cousins, friends, and my karate family. They are all so important to me and I don’t know what I would do without them. On the other hand, Romeo and Juliet displayed family in an interesting way. When Juliet said she didn’t want to marry Paris, her mother said she would disown her if she didn’t do

When I came back to visit my family in South Africa in Cape Town, arriving in an unknown car at my grandma’s house. It was inevitable for this occurrence to happen, right then and there I saw my grandfather’s death bed. It was similar to him sleeping an endless dream, although that’s what most people would say, however it’s actually true. Seeing my granddad laying on my grandfather’s death bed made me think, ‘when I die would I look similar to my granddad?’ laying there with his arms laid by his sides, similar to a soldier ready to take orders.

After that it was time to practice our presentation that we would give when our parents got there. When we got done it was about noon so we ordered some pizza and watched another movie and drank some pop. After we were finished we did some arts and crafts and then our parents started arriving so we had to get our sashes, put them on and start the presentation. The presentation was good, besides every other kid looking at the person in front of them to see what move would come next. Our parents clapped and then the camp was over we grabbed our stuff and we headed home. When I got in the car my dad turned around and told me something that I never would’ve expected he told me that my great grandma had passed away and I just started crying. I cried the whole way home. At first I thought they were just kidding, but they weren’t. They told me that she had passed away early in the morning and suddenly something hit me that still to this day reminds me of my great grandma. This means no more talking to her the whenever I go to my grandparents house, no more 2 vanilla wafers for all of my hard work, and no more big hugs. I can remember feeling like a part of me has just crumbled into pieces, and it will never be put back together. I still miss my great grandma and I wish I could see her 1 more time. I wish I could tell her I loved her 1 more time. I wish I could help her clean her room 1 more time. But right then as I was sitting in that car

No one can’t meet a family like mine’s. My family is well diversified. Every family member plays an important role in all my family’s lives.

Most families are happy and get along, well my family is way different than that.
