Family: a word that everyone says so often, but not everyone knows the real meaning of it. Family is a word that is defined by people very differently. The true definitions of family exceed just the blood relations. It is true that most of us can count on our father, mother or siblings, but it is also true that we have a family beyond them, like friends, or our spouse (obviously).
