Family is defined in many ways. It begins with the people who share your name and ancestry. As you get older, your family continues to grow.
People marry and inherit a second family. Relatives give birth to nieces, nephews, cousins and grandchildren. Close friends and confidants are invited into the special group of people you call your family, even though they aren’t related by birth. A family is made up of people who share a special bond; it does not need to obey any boundaries.
