Wealth

Wealth

I am wealthy. In fact I am very wealthy.

Not financially, but when it comes to family and friends well I think I'm wealthy in that department. My family is just a average family of four, there is dad, mum, my sister and myself. I am the older sister. I am related to my friend, Paten who is also my younger sister. I then also have two nan who are alive 1 pop who is also alive and then my dad dad who is no Longer with us. I didn't get to meet my dads dad but I here he was great. Me and my family live with my dad's mum. My mums mum and dad live in Adelaide, South Australia. And every second Christmas we go up there well that was till a few years ago when we found out my nan had a brain tumour and may not be with us much longer so instead of us going there they have came here every year since till 2015 we went up there again and saw my cousin Trina she is my mums niece I know my auntie and I hear she has had a daughter named Emila she is nearly 6 and well I haven't met her and as much as I want to I'm a bit scared my auntie my then take her away from us again and say we can never see her and well that will break my sister and my hearts. And well in 2016 we didn't go their but we are going on a Christmas cruise with them. We don't have much money we struggled with paying the cruise and then we had to get a car loan and well we are really struggling to stay on our feet and well Christmas and birthdays are really hard on us as we don't have much money yet our parents try to get us everything we want next year in 2017 I. Turning 16 years old and well a few years ago I wanted this big party then in 2015 I wanted to go to I fly and at the start of this year I want to do sky adventures at st marys rsl, now all I really want is a quiet BBQ cause at least I know we can afford that I will admit as much as I would love to have a big 16th like everyone else I can't afford it but I don't care but my parents they do my mum came to me last week and said liz what if we went to the panic room or the labyrinth escape for your birthday and of course I said yes and mum gave me the friendly reminder of only if I can afford it and well as much as I hope we can I wouldn't mind if we can't because I think I'd prefer a big eighteenth birthday. So financial wealth isn't me but family wealth well I have a lot of that and I will admit we fight a lot but well they are still my family and I love them and well I have learnt a lot from them like not to be afraid to tell them anything and that they accept me for who I am and that sometimes to please others my mum will put back something she truly needs just so she can get us what we want but don't need because well she's a mum and she likes to get us things.
