Yes, this is my thesis statement. I have a bit trouble wording it. I'm trying to say that even though there's always a fight, an a conflicts in the family its better to have them close than to not knowing them at all..

Hmmm, don't mention conflicts or refer to it in any way. You wanted your family back together to be a real family again, not one separated by countries and half a world. Let me think. (Nice job otherwise, by the way!)
