Eva Longoria says she's a naturally cheerful person, but her sense of optimism comes directly from her family.

"I've learned there's no better medicine than laughing," says the Desperate Housewives star, who opens up about her family to Parade magazine.

"(My sister) Liza is mentally challenged. She was my hero growing up," she says. "It was a blessing to watch her overcome every obstacle - tying her shoes, putting on a shirt, getting out the front door. And yet she still had a job and would come home on the bus by herself and help with dinner. You could only imagine the hurdles she encountered every minute of the day."

Eva, I'm so proud of you -- and your sister.

I'm glad God has blessed you so you can always look out for her.
