They say that "family" is one of God's greatest blessings in life. True. We ought to thank God for the gift of family. Some of us may wonder, is there such thing as a perfect family? I believe there are perfect families. A perfect family doesn't always mean that all members in that family are perfect and good at almost everything. Sometimes, the perfect family is the ideal family. Every person has his/her own of ideal family and so there are a lot of ideal families. In my opinion, the ideal family stays close to each other, enjoys being together and most especially loves and accepts you for who you are. That is my own definition of ideal family.

        I have mentioned that my ideal family stays close to each other always and no matter what happens. Nothing can ever tear them apart. The ideal family struggles to find time to be together amidst their busy schedules. They want to be together and so they enjoy hanging-out with each other. Most importantly, the ideal family accepts you for who you are. They don't care about your flaws and imperfections. They won't mind your physical appearance. They love you because of who you are.

        My family is a lot like my ideal family. They helped me in forming and enhancing my identity. What I am right now is all because of them. My family also stays together. We live in one house and we do things together.  We hang-out a lot during weekends too. The best thing about my family is that even if I am not the perfect daughter or sister, they still love me as if I was the best thing that ever happened to them. The fact that I merely exist makes them happy, and that's what I call unconditional love.

       Like I have said, I truly believe that perfect families exist. These families are not literally perfect, but instead, they are ideal. If I was given a chance to trade my family with other families I know, I would simply decline. I am happy and contented with my family. I know my family feels the same way for me. I love my family and I always will.
