My Family

There are eight people in my family: my mother, my four sisters, my two younger brothers, and me. My father was a military officer and died in 1976. We were very sad because, since then, we would only see his image in our dreams. My mother and I had to work hard to support my younger brothers and sisters. And now they have grown up and everybody is looking for a job.

I'm proud of my family because my mother was only a widow, but with her ability, she sacrificed all her life for her children. So we always respect and love our mother. Hopefully, we will never make her sad.

Now my family is living in the USA. And our life is better than before, and we are much happier. Sometimes, I remember Vietnam. Although my old country is very poor and far away, it always lives in my heart.
