My Definition of Family


My personal definition of family is those who love us unconditionally and treat us with respect and consideration. I think there is the family you are born into without choice, and then there's the family you build for yourself when you figure out who you should be close to through life. My definition of family goes deeper than just blood relation. For example, I have three friends that I have grown up with basically my whole life and I consider them my brothers. I believe family members support each other emotionally, physically, and financially. Family is there for you through thick and thin no matter what. They are there for you just to hangout or if something really troubling is going on in your life. I believe all of the relationships listed in chapter twelve fit into my definition of family. It doesn’t matter if you’re homosexual, heterosexual, step siblings, or even just close friends.
