Important people in my life

Today I will say why my family is so important to me :)
The most important person is obvious Mum. I still live at home with her, and she does absolutely everything - cooks, cleans, drives me where-ever I want (within reason!). She's definately my best friend. Mum is one of 13 - 7 are still alive.
Dad. Dad was great. He died almost three years ago now - Mum and I still miss him loads - but he was just a great person. Dad was one of 13, and amazingly enough, all his brothers are sisters are still alive, dotted around the world!
My sister - there's 13 years between us, but I get along really well with her. She's married and got two daughters. She always said that she wanted to move closer to me, Mum and Dad (noot that she was very far away in the first place) so that I can always live in this home. Finally, in 2006, the pefect opportunity came up - our old neighbours were going to move, and asked if they would like to live right next door to us. They moved in about four months before Dad died, and Dad was really happy about it. Christmas and Easter are great fun, as we can walk out of one door and into the next - no taxis home any more! :)
My nieces They are almost 23 now and mean a lot to me. They are Twins - one of them is studying hard, in her last year of university. The other is living at home at the moment (as in, next door) while her partner is in Afghanistan, with William.
And finally - William. He's such a good little thing, and loves playing with his Auntie! He has certainly brightened up mine and Mum's life. His middle name is Patrick, after Dad. And I am sure he will be a brilliant big brother when the new baby arrives in July :)
