Family- any group of persons closely related by blood, as parents,children, uncles, aunts, and cousins: to marry into a sociallyprominent family.
You are told that family is what is important. My question is... What is family? I have had this idea that family doesn't judge. Family sticks with you through thick and thin. Family is the only group of people that you can fully rely on. Blood is thicker than water.
Family does not have to be your closest confidantes. Family can just be that, family. I always make the mistake that my family will be there for me. When times are hard it seems that I am the only one that makes sacrifices. When I try to be vulnerable at all my family is the first to shoot me down.
The conclusion is that family is what you make of it. There is the family that you are born with. And then there is the family that you acquire. I have learned the latter loves me warts and all.
