Abigail Michelini!

Hey Everyone!
Last thursday at about 8:30 at night, i was switched from the Pawluk family, to the Michelini family! I had been experiencing a lot of trouble with my other family for many different reasons, and i thought it would just be a better decision over all, for not only me, but the Pawluk family as well, that i switch. The process was difficult, and at times really hard, because as you can imagine, the Pawluk family was pretty hurt and upset that i had wanted to switch. But AFS was supportive, and i was given such a great family in return!
My family consists of 5 kids, and now 6 with me! My brother Octavio is 17, and attends a private school in Misiones, where he rooms for the week, and returns home for the weekend. My sister Justina, who is 15, was one of my best friends in school before i became part of the family! We share a room, and love saying that we are now 'sisters' to everyone :) I have a 10 year old brother, Mateo, and he is one of the sweetest little boys! My other brother is 5 years old, Alejo, and Mateo and Alejo are best friends. Mateo helps out alot with Alejo, and is always asking me if i need anything. I love my little brothers :) Lastly, i have a little 5 month sister, Esperanza (Hope, in english) and yes, i am in heaven. Haha, i love my little sister so much. Yesterday morning, i woke up before anyone in the house, and Esperanza and I spent time sitting on the porch together in the sun, smiling, and having cuddle time. It was so great! My mamí's name is Nazarana, and she is a really good mom to all of my siblings, and me too! Unfortunatly, my familys dad, Enrique, passed away about 4 weeks ago to cancer. As you can imagine, this is extemely hard for my family, but much to my suprise, the house is still so bright and fun. There are people coming and leaving constanly at my house, and just because my family has lost someone SO important to them, does not mean their world has stopped. They carry on, and are doing so well. I am really proud to be a part of the Michelini family, and love them a lot.
Thank you so much for all your support! The past week has been really hard, but now i am with a family with so much love, and im really starting to be happy again :)
I will keep updating!
Amor y Paz,
Abigail.
