Family is Forever

I love my family. They are awesome and have made me who I am today; being raised in a home with eleven siblings and a mother and father who love me really helped shape my life. My parents taught me that there's no such thing as bad people, just good people making bad decisions; because of them I want to believe that everyone can change, and given proper motivation and opportunity they will. Now that I'm older and have moved away, I try to stay in contact with them so that I don't lose that relationship I have with them. I want to make that relationship last as long as possible, and through technology we have today like Facebook, email, and cell phones, I can. I was raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but the main reason why I continued in the faith was because it was at this church that I learned I can be with my family forever. The thought only gets better because I also learned I will not only be able to spend eternity with them, but I will be able to spend eternity with the entirety of my family tree. Now that I'm married and sealed to my wife, I will be able to spend eternity with her family as well. I've learned about life from my siblings, parents, and grandparents. They've taught me so much, and because I will be able to be with my family forever, even after this life I will be able to hear about the lives of all my ancestors, and the thought brings me so much joy.
