All in the family

Write me a poem about a family. Maybe your family, maybe someone elses. Could be about a sister, brother, father, mother, grandparent, uncle ect. Doesn't really matter, just needs to involve family somehow.

Rules:
1) No funky caps
2) Definitley no erotica
3) Preferably no emo, cutting ect.
4) Free verse please, unless you blow me away with your rhymes
5) I'm hoping for a certain intimacy from people here. Be honest with your poems, and give me enough so I can feel like one of the family
6) Have fun
