My Thoughts on Family

A family is defined in many ways.

The dictionary defines a family as a group of individuals living under one roof and usually under one head of the household or a group of persons of common ancestry.

I define family as this. Family is not about genetics. It is about loving each other through the great times and also through the tough times. Through the pain and sorrows and through the joys and laughs. Through the births and through the deaths. Through the struggles and the triumphs of each other. Family is about not judging one another but about accepting one another. Family is about hugs and cuddles, kisses and smiles. Family is about fights and tears. Families don’t always agree but they always love. Through it all a family is the place where you will find safety, security, and peace.

Family is not only the physical place of a house it is the place in your heart where you feel that warm feeling, The place where you can smell those familiar smells and hear those familiar humms. The place where you can close your eyes and remember. Remember the scrapes of your first bike accident. Remember the fears of the dark, remember the laughs of the birthday parties. The place where you can smell the turkey cooking, where you can taste the potato salad and feel the sun on your face from the porch, the place where you can hear the trees rustle or the horns blow. Whatever your place… where ever that is and whoever it is with… when you find this place you will know that you have found your home and found your family.
