A family is a group which is related by blood, marriage, or other close bonds. Families come in all different sizes and types, and the modern family today may be traditional or nontraditional. Family is made up of the the people who love you regardless, and who will always take you in when you need this no matter what the past has been like. You can choose your friends but this is not possible with family.
Thanksgiving Day is a good day to recommit our energies to giving thanks and just giving.
