Family

Families are a universal group in all peoples around the world.  Parents, children, brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and for many, that includes good friends.  Some say it is blood relations that make a family—others say it is love.  Families can be large—so big that family reunions have to be held outside to have room for everyone.  Some families are small—maybe only two or three people.  Size doesn’t make the family or indicate how important it is—love and support does.
