Family
It’s more than a bloodline
It’s more than a kinship
It’s more than the people in your house
It’s more than a relationship that you hold close to your heart
It’s the people you want in your life
it’s the people that you would take a bullet for
it’s the people who matter most to you
it’s the people who you consider to be yours
They don’t have to live with you
They don’t have to be your parents
they don’t have to be in love with you
they don’t have to be your best friend
they do fight you
they do annoy you
they do get on your nerves
but that’s why they’re there
They are there to make you laugh
they are there to make you think
they are there to provide a shoulder to cry on
but most importantly they are there for you
so keep them close
don’t brandish them
don’t damage them
don’t take them for granted
you only have one real one
who are you going to give the honor to?
