“Being a family means you are a part of something very wonderful.

It means you will love

and be loved for the rest of your life.” –Lisa Weed

"A house belongs to you, but you belong to a home." Ideally, a family is that place
where we can be at home. We can loosen our tie, kick off our shoes, and relax hence it goes
beyond that for a family is lifelong connectedness and accountability. For better or worse,
richer or poorer, in sickness and health, a family is the place where we
are always connected and where we are always accountable. While we may hope that
forgiveness will soften the pain, a family is where we must live with our own and each
other’s mistakes. Bad marriages, failed businesses, and careless destruction of property or
life – all these are family matters. In family, we can't get away from these things by moving
endlessly. We live till we pass on in the beds we make each day. So the family is the place
where we figure out how to be mindful, to take care of our toys, tidy up our wrecks, check
our savagery, and express our affection. It isn't just a spot to return home to, it's a spot to
come from, out into the world. From our first day of school to our first occupation to our
numerous profitable functions in the network and the world, a family is that bunch that
says "pull out all the stops, you can do it!" Family is the place where we are had faith in,
supported, chided, and nudged – all towards making us the most ideal individuals we can
be. 

Of course, behind these are people who truly prove that the family is one of nature’s
masterpieces that it didn’t matter how big our house was; it mattered that there was love in
it –and as for me, it’s the collective love of an unsung father, selfless mother, loyal sister,
and a protective brother. For one, a father’s love is irreplaceable, some may don't believe in
heroes but they haven't met my father. He may love his child differently, but it always came
from his heart. Nothing in this world can replace the feeling that our father’s love can give
us as it is eternal, righteous, and unconditional. Even with his shortcomings, he will do his
best to be there for you as all he wanted is to bring out the best in you and lead you to a
worthy future and humbly wishes for your happiness as you are also his happiness. Indeed,
a father holds his daughter’s hand for a short while, but he holds her heart forever. 
"At the point when you are gazing at your mom, you are looking at the purest love
you will actually know." A good t mother is caring and perceives that she needs an ideal
opportunity to deal with her family. Great mothers show their kids directly from wrong in
any event for a mother is the only person on earth who can divide her love among her
children and each child still have all her love. They are there for their kids when they need
them most, but then let them soar on their own when they are ready, for there is nothing as
powerful as mother’s love, and nothing as healing as a child’s soul.
Having an unwavering and loyal companion is one of the most authentic blessings to
have in this world, particularly when that companion of yours is your sister. You battle. You
play together. You "get" each other's garments. You bother one another. You get into your
mother's cosmetics. Growing up with a sister can be great, yet it can likewise be irritating—
like living with a BFF and the class mean young lady at the same time. A good sister shows
characteristics of genuineness, steadfastness, and dependability. She speaks with her kin
and doesn't fail to remember what's imperative to them. As a sister, she's there in the midst
of hardship and in the midst of celebration. Even from afar, simple acts can demonstrate
your desire to be a better sister. She’s like an angel, with an affection that consistently
gleams and of the best endowments my heart will actually know. Lastly, a brother is a
friend God gave you; a friend is a brother your heart chose. A brother's love gives you that
hidden warm embrace. It affords us all the privilege of both time and place. A brother's love
protects us from all things that are bad. Our hearts connect in such a way that times are
never sad.

As for me, those mentioned above are the persons behind my joyous heart. They
gave me a reason to live, to maximize chances, and to never fear tomorrow. For the gift of a
family is the greatest gift we may attain in this cruel world-- the ones who stood beside you
when you almost feel you are being betrayed by the world and seeing them smile is the
best feeling of every day. Acknowledgment, having a place of connectedness, and solidarity
in diversity– are the essence of family. My parents, siblings, and I have each designed our
own adaptations of that, none of which mirror the family we were brought up in.
Furthermore, we as a human family are accused of extending to envelop these exact same
forces as it will be the human family that we will realize our shared dream of peace on
earth. Home is made of experiences, moments of our lives that keep us going, and when
home takes on a human form, it is called family. Family is a relative term, nothing to do
with blood, and is defined by relationships. After all, we can always be home; a home is
where our heart is. Nothing compares to the feeling you know you are being loved, cared
for, and valued by the most amazing circle of people that gives you both home and life
yesterday, today, and for the rest of tomorrow.
