What makes a family? I come from a family of seven...five kids and two parents. For me, family are the people who give you a soft place to fall when everything else in your world is crashing down around you. Family are the people who take you in when you don't have a place to live. Family are the ones you turn to when life crushes you. I love the fact that we live in a world where families can be black mixed with white, Catholic living side by side with Muslims. At the end of the day a family are those people who give you the love you need to sustain you.
