1: a group of individuals living under one roof and usually under one head.
2 a: a group of persons of common ancestry . b: a people or group of peoples regarded as deriving from a common stock.
3 a: a group of people united by certain convictions or a common affiliation
This is just the first three definitions, there are 5 more to follow. I have recently learned that family has a different meaning to everyone and to be honest not one persons definition of Family is the same.
Here is my definition for family:
Family is a group of individuals that have unconditional love, support and feeling of belonging with the other members of the family. A family is uplifting and is happy for you and your successes. Family is a group of people you can count on through thick and thin.
I just feel that people are quick to define family by blood relation and in those cases are likely to take family members for granted. Family might be brought together by blood but that does not define it. It is something that needs to be cherished and loved so that the relationship can grow. Family can not be taken for granted, because there is a common thread that binds you. Without love and respect family relationships will not thrive.
Right now I am focused only on the 2 men and 2 dogs that are in my life. This is my family ... this is my life.
