"Family isn't always blood. Its the people in your life who want you in theirs. The ones who accept you for who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile and who love you no matter what. In truth a family is what you make it. It is made strong, not by number of heads counted at the dinner table, but by the rituals you help family members create, by the memories you share by the commitment of time, caring, and love you show to one another, and by the hopes for the future you have as individuals and as a unit."
