Hardships and family trials brought me, my younger sister Alejandra and my younger brother Nicco into a relationship so close that the only way to describe it would be the formation of becoming best friends. We looked out for each other, we loved each other, we protected each other and every time life threw something else at us we just grew closer making it harder and harder to be separated. As each year passed our friendship became more mature and we appreciated each other more.
Point in life came where we had grown up to the point where we had to start taking different paths in life in order to truly live up to the potential we had all discovered in ourselves together. I decided to serve and LDS Mission and left to teach the Gospel at 19 years old. My siblings grew and changed while I was away and I came to the realization that when I was to return home our childhood would be over. The next chapter in life would begin. Thinking about this scared me a little but when I returned home there was that familiar feeling when I hugged both of them again. Childhood may have been over but that special friendship had not weakened even at the slightest.
Since returning I have began my college experience and I married my best friend. Every time we decide to come down to visit every minute is cherished as best friends catch up and spend time updating the life map together. I do not know if I could have handled anything in life having not had my siblings by my side. I am never lonely. Family has been the most sacred and important part of my life. I hope that when the day comes when my wife and I start our family that our kids will be just as close finding that love and peace that comes from having a close family. Family is what we have at the end of day. Not a minute should be taken for granted. Each minute should be cherished. My siblings will always be my life long best friends.
