I looked in the dictionary and the definition for "family" is just not suitable enough. The dictionary states it as "A fundamental social group in society typically consisting of one or two parents and their children". Then there was also, " Two or more people who share goals and values, have long-term commitments to one another, and reside usually in the same dwelling place." or " A group of persons sharing common ancestry".
To me, Family goes a lot deeper than that. This would be my definition: family: Individuals sharing common threads that are commited to each other unconditionally.
This may sound vague, but, there are no conditions to being a family. You don't have to live under the same roof or share the same parents. It is not a requirement that you even be related. It is a caring of other individuals that anytime, anyplace - they know you are there for them and they are there for you.
Now THAT is family!
