Family.

Family is the one thing in life that matters. Especially when things get tough, family is always there no matter what. Through the good and bad, they are the ones who stay by your side. There is no such thing as the perfect family, however we all see ours as perfect.

Mine is nothing but dysfunctional but we wouldn't have it any other way. We argue, are opinionated, extremely loud, (because being Cuban why wouldn't we be) but all in all, the love we have for one another is unconditional. Part of my family and I spent years without speaking to each other over things that in the end weren't worth the time of day. But these things happen. It took a small tragedy to reunite us all, and in due time we realized that we are glad the ice was broken and the bridges that were burnt were able to be rebuilt. 

At the end of the day whats important is to take care of those who are family.
