что для меня значит семья?на английском

They say that everyone has their own values in life. But I believe that there are not many real values, and they remain unchanged for any person at any time. Indeed, what can be more important and more expensive than health, sincere love, unsullied honour, true friendship, and most importantly – a loving and united family? These gifts can not be bought for any money, if you lose them – they will not return back, and life will lose its meaning.

My family is small but very friendly. I've got mum, dad and one brother. There are also grandparents, uncles and aunts, cousins, but they do not live with us, but just come to visit us. We have pets for a few years, they also became members of our family. My mother is the best mum in the world. She is very kind, beautiful and caring, I love her very much. Mum always knows everything, always helps, cures, if you get sick, scolds for some things and praises, if we deserve it. Mum makes delicious lunches, cleans, washes our clothes, checks our homework. My dad and we with my brother are trying to help her with everything. My dad is a very busy man, he works a lot, so we spend more time with my mom. But on the weekends – we all go to the circus, football, ice-skating or to the park or to a cafe. In summer we all go to the sea. When I grow up, I'll have a family of my own that I love and appreciate, but then I won't leave my parents.

I think that our nearest and dearest is the most important thing in our life. After all, there is nothing worse than loneliness, when no one loves you, and you do not love anyone when there is no one to take care of you, and you do not care about anyone. There is no one to share the grief, no one to ask for help. No wonder people always believe that one of the most bitter things in life – is to be an orphan, and in some songs and ballads mourn the orphan's life. To my mind, we should protect our parents, because their love is priceless, and no other love can replace it.
