I believe family is the core support and relationship of a person. For this reason, family is an extremely relative term. For most people, family is blood related. It only consists of a husband and wife, children, parents, and extended blood related individuals. For others, family is not just limited to blood, but can be anyone. Close friends are sometimes seen as “brother from another mother”.
My personal
definition of family demonstrates family as the first contact of a person. They
are there to spend time with one another, they help each other out, they love
and care for one another, and so much more. Family can be as a big or as small
a part of your life as you let it be. To me, family is a big part of my life
and is my number one priority. Since my definition is so loose, all types of
families discussed in chapter 12 seem to fit my definition. Family is what you
make it.
Or, as Lilo from “Lilo and Stitch” say, “Ohana means family.
Family means no one gets left behind or forgotten.”

Dear jossshhuaa,
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you said, how you "believe family is the core support and relationship of a person." What would we do without family? I think we would be lost, confused, and feel unloved all the time. I thank God I have a wonderful family! Your right, some people do consider others to be family even if they are not blood related. I don't myself, but it is common. My list of priorities are God, family, and then school. I can't even imagine what it would be like if they were not apart of my life. They play a big role, and always will.
By the way, your definition is good.
