Prompt 3. Sept 3.
You can achieve all the things you want to do, but it's much better to do it with loved ones around you; family and friends, people that you care about that can help you on the way and can celebrate you, and you can enjoy the journey. ~John Lasseter

Your most significant other(s) is/are....! Write about your loved ones (furry or not).


This was an easy entry for albeit it might be a little bit more Sappy and sentimental than my typical writing. There are 4 people in my life that immediately come to my when I think about loved ones. My mother, father and two brother. I touched upon this briefly in my last entry. My parents have always been there looking out for me and I am really grateful to them for it.

My father is one of the people I admire the most. He is extremely smart and kind. He is always able to keep cool in challenging situation and I aspire to be like him. My love of reading an ability and an writing abilities I possess comes from him.

My mother is an amazing woman. She has incredible artistic skills and she is smart in her own right. I often times take her for granted but she has always been looking out for me. We tend to clash rather often as she has a bit of a hair trigger temper but when I think about all she has done for me... driving me and my brothers to school every day while working part time and looking after us every day... I realize how great she is.

My two brothers are awesome as well. I am the oldest of 3. Compared with my middle brother, I tend to be a bit of an underachiever but he continues to admire me. He is an amazing brother. He always makes an effort to look out for me and I try to do the same him as well. My youngest brother is really sweet. He is extremely smart and aspire to be a scientist. I am always impressed with how much he grows every day. He is a great brother as well.

I am very lucky to have such a good family.
