Family means having someone to love you unconditionally in spite of you and your shortcomings. Family is loving and supporting one another even when it's not easy to do so.

What is family?

Today, we celebrate Thanks giving, the favorite time for families to come together to express gratitude to their loved ones for the things they have received, but more importantly, to show love, appreciation and gratitude for the things they have contributed to the life of the family and community. In many communities, the importance of family is profound and deeply embedded in their lives. Many cultures think of family as the closest of friends. Friends are important, but sometimes it's nice to have a special friend, someone who knows you inside and out. But what if there is no one special friend in your life? Is there anyone who knows you better than your family? Family is the family of choice. It's the people who chose to spend time with you and accept you unconditionally.

The importance of family

Family comes in all different shapes and sizes. Some families are large and extremely important. Some are small and just a matter of convenience to share expenses and duties among each other. While some families can become large or very small, regardless of what shape it takes, it is more important to focus on the people rather than the size of the family itself. Hiding in the shadows When you spend a large part of your life with someone, you start to notice things about them that you might not have noticed before. The qualities that you really appreciate about them in the early days may slowly fade. Things that you love about them today might not always be the same thing you will love about them tomorrow.there's no such factor as a "broken family." Family is family, and isn't determined by wedding certificates, divorce papers, and adoption documents.

5 secrets to having a more meaningful family

A loved one of mine lost her mother recently. While the loss was tremendous, she was really touched by the number of people who called her and expressed their love and concern for her. She took the time to read all of the well-wishes, and with tears in her eyes, she expressed how grateful she was to each of them. As my friend talked, she said to me, "Thank you to everyone for being there for me. It means so much that you went out of your way to send me messages and flowers, and let me know you are thinking of me." She spoke of how deeply it had touched her to know that other people care so much about her. The kind words you say to those you care about will make a difference in their lives for the rest of their lives. Take the time to show your loved ones that you care.
