When the word 'Family' comes up, the first thing that comes to mind is the immediate family; Pa, Ma, Siblings and other extended family members too. But in the real sense, your family is that 'real' 'understanding' 'always there' 'accept you for who you are' 'always there when you need them the most' person... You may find these qualities in a friend(s), your neighbor(s), your pastor(s) and even your immediate or extended family member(s).
These are the people that make life worth living, they make you happy, they correct your wrongs and still embrace you, you call them up at 3am and they are always there to listen. These people are FAMILY.
Family is love and everyone needs love.
