What does family mean?

There are over 7,000 languages spoken in the world and over 7,000 ways to say family. To me, family is everything. Family is the ones who are there for you no matter what. Family is the ones who have seen you at your highest and lowest points and love you unconditionally. Family is the ones that you can come to with anything.

Family is commonly defined as your parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. While all of these people take up a significant role in my life, my heart, and in my family, my family does not only consist of those connected to me by blood. My family is also my friends, those who choose to be a part of my life. My family is made up of those who care about me most and those who I love with all my heart as well.
