I Miss Our Family

i miss our close knit family we held together through thick and thin then our family lost two of its anchors thats when the drifting first began mom was the strong and loving kind four children she raised all alone sometimes life got rough for us but mom made our house a home then one fateful day back in nineteen ninety one our world fell apart that day because one of our anchors was suddenly gone then our older sister she tried hard to take mom,s place it was good for a little while but soon cancer reared its ugly face then one day in two thousand and five mom came to take our sister home leaving just a few of us to try to just survive but now as this old year ends and the new one come with GODS grace our family is not the same anymore i hide my tears in disgrace
