My family is small. My mother has three children and five grandsons. The grandsons like to
play soccer with their uncle. The family go to the church on weekends in the afternoon. We
like to cook together. My family is very happy. I miss my family...
By Jonathan Ngue
My mother gave birth to sixteen children. Eight died. Eight are alive. I left my family five
years ago. I didn’t see them. But after yesterday, I saw my family on the internet on my
smartphone. I was happy to see them. They were happy to see me too. My mother is old.
She is 81. My father is old too. He is 91years old. They have eight small grandchildren.
My oldest brother is a contractor. My second oldest brother is a pork butcher. My older
sister works in my small business. All of them are busy, and good workers.
I love my family. They are happy for me too.
