Family.

Family.
Who decides the definition of that word?
The simple definition for family is a group of people consisting of mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, nieces, nephews, cousins etc.
Surely there is more to it than that?
I believe this word is open to interpretation depending on the individual.
For instance, what about your friends? Can they be classed as family?
Does family have to be blood relatives?
Are your pets a member of the family?
There are so many questions surrounding the word ‘family’, leading to so many possible answers.
You, they, we, I. It is the individual who decides the definition of the word.
We have the power to choose who to call our family.
Who we can trust, support and love. Who will be there for us when we need them, who we will be there for.
One thing is certain. Love. Family is always consumed with unconditional love.
So ask yourself. Who is your family?
