First to clearly define a family...
maybe we should start by defining what family is not!
Family is not...
a name for a group of people who share a blood line...
that makes you related.
Family is not...
the name for the people you see once a year on holidays...
that makes you acquainted.
Family is not...
the name for the people in your home growing up...
that makes you well acquainted.
Family is not...
the name for your mother or father or brother or sister...
again... just related.
What does define the word family is the quality of relationships between these people...
A family has...
unconditional love...
even when you don't deserve it, and especially when you need it.
A family gives...
forgiveness...
eventually.
A family has...
trust...
without this, it is broken.
A family is...
caring...
this makes you feel safe.
A family makes...
memories together.
A family shares...
dreams.
A family is...
dependable.
A family can...
be adopted.
A family is made of...
the people who came into your life...
and have never left your side.
A family is...
willing to stand up for you.
A family will...
always believe in you.
A family is...
more than friendship...
they are people you would fight for and die for.
Most of all...
a family is...
what makes you whole inside.
The dictionary defines the word Family as two or more people who share goals and values, having long-term commitments to one another. It also says that they are usually related... usually... not always and not never.
Its been said that you can choose your friends but not your family...
I say that is wrong.
You most definitely can choose your family...
you just cant choose who you are related to.
I may not have the best group of people to be related to...
But...
I have the best Family in the world!
