For me family is my dad, mum, sister, brother, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.  Even very close friends of my parents are considered to be family.  Undoubtedly, the strongest influences on my life have been my nuclear family of Prince Addy, my dad, Korkor, my mum, Naa, my sister, and my brother, Kpanie.  Another family member who has a tremendous influence on my life is my paternal grandad, Abraham Nii Antiaye Addy.  I guess I wasn't named after him for nothing. 

Both my paternal and maternal families are very close-knit, and that means we are interdependent.  Currently, even though I'm away from my parents my uncles Charles, Nani, and Victor keep in close touch with me.  With a family scattered all over the globe like mine, it takes quite some effort to keep in touch with everybody.  But it also means almost anywhere I go, there's family!
