Family is mostly taken for granted. It seems as though the people who come from unstable homes are the ones who truly appreciate a good family. Family doesn't necessarily consist of a mother, father, and siblings, but rather of people who genuinely love and comfort you with no hesitation. A true family will support you to their greatest extent, will become your role models, teachers, heroes, etc. In the end, I believe a family is a strong bond held together with an unconditional amount of love.
I come from a not so big family because I only see my dads half. I don’t have any brothers or sisters so I like to consider my boys as brothers. My boys and I been through some stuff which makes us so tight knit. From running around hanging off the back of a icecream trucks , to chasing girls at PAL dances to even staying at eachothers houses because we had no where to go. I know these guys would give me theyre shirts off theyre backs and I would do the same without hesitation. I was told from one of my best friends that “ brotherhoods based on blood are just given, brotherhoods based on love,trust and respect are earned” not sure if he stole that quote from someone but I thought it had great meaning.

ReplyDeleteYour definition about family is so true. I also think the same way
ReplyDeleteI wish I felt that way about my family but ever since my little sisters started getting into highschool and jr high. Well let’s say maybe in a 10 years I can love them again.
ReplyDeleteI love the quote one of your best friends told you. It is very true
ReplyDeleteI really liked your view on family,and it is very nice you can rely on your boys that way.
ReplyDeleteI liked the quote you friend told you,dont mind if i steal do you?
ReplyDeleteI agree family doesn’t have to be only those you’re related to by blood. Being attached to the military, and so far away from any blood relations, our friends have become our family.
ReplyDeleteI love your definition of a family, and I agree, they don't have to be related to be considered your family.
ReplyDeleteNice post. You give a meaning to family I think we can all relate to.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you use the definition about family.
