How do you define the word "family?"

[mrbizzard]

A "family" is defined in many ways, that it's hard to come up with one definition for it, in my opinion. What is your unique definition of family? I am curious to see what meaning you came up with.

Please and thank you.

Any group of people who help and support each other, without expecting anything in return.

Family has different meanings.  Of course it is the people you are related to, but there is another family, it is friends who are so close and important in your life they no longer are just friends but also family.
