Family is not blood, family is the people you draw close, it is the bonds you make that are stronger than birth. Family is the people you care for, love, and cherish.
The ones you would bleed for, cry with, hold and listen to.
They are more to you than who you married, or who gave birth to you.
Family is community, not because you *have* to be there for them, but because you *want* to be there, by their side, through the bad, the good, the changes.
There is no greater bond than family, but not the one born of the womb- the family wrought through blood and sweat and tears will last long after we are all dust.
@root , is there a reason images won't load for me? Is something b0rked, or do I just need to clear a cache somewhere? Been a few days now :/
