Family means different things to different people. To some people it means those whom you share a biological connection with. To others, its the people you choose to surround yourself with, to share your life with.
I think it is both.
I have the family I was born into. My father, mother and two sisters. There are my best friends whom I have shared my whole life with- the ins and outs of every single little detail that has brought me to where I am today. And now, there is the man that I will marry and hopefully, one day, the children we will have. That will be my newest family.
When I saw the picture above complete with a father, mother and baby puppies, I couldn't help but think that those animals have the most innate understanding of what family is defined by. Family is defined by support, kindness and generosity of care. We could learn a lot from them.
