Family.

Family, all the descendants of a common ancestor.

Family, a group of people who share the same blood line.

Family, the people in your life that you’re related to.

Family, the people who come to your birthday parties.

Family, a group of people that celebrate holiday’s together.

Family, the people you see every weekend.

Family, the people who make you laugh until you can’t breathe.

Family, the people who make you smile when all you want to do is cry.

Family, the safe haven you will forever have.

Family, the people you want standing with you during the most crucial moments in your life.

Family is the feeling I had when I watched my cousins win the state championship today. 

Family is the feeling of accomplishment and pride I felt when I watched them fight until the final second.

Family is more than the blood that connects you.

Family is the closeness and love you allow into your heart so you can share some of the greatest moments with the people you love.
