What is a family?
I read an article the other day that stated that the definition of family in America is shifting. My first thought was, “well duh!,” but then I thought again. There are many who may not really think about what really makes a family. What are your thoughts? Here are a few of mine….
1.) A family is a unit of individuals that lean on each other for support, love and caring.
2.) A family is who you tell your secrets and dreams to and they instantly share in your hopes because your dreams and cares instantly become theirs as well.
3.) A family is the ones you strive to protect and provide for day in and day out.
4.) A family can be 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ……people.
5.) A family does not have to contain a mother, father, and kids….it can be much less, much more, or very different.
6.) A family provides a place of comfort – where all masks can be removed and you can just be you!
7.) A true family is the face of love that you dream about during hard times.
8.) A family is home.
9.) A family can be made of genetics or choice, the bond is just as strong either way.
10.) A family is made, it does not exist simply because the individuals share in the same DNA code….
