Family

A basic social unit consisting of parents, children, and other related people.

Everyone comes from a family. They can be broken or whole. Families come traditional, mixed, complicated, or dysfunctional. They each produce in their members some good things and some bad things. Everyone, no matter their family, will grow up with some glad moments and some sad disappointments. 

While no two families are exactly alike, they all are alike in their power to shape a person’s perception of themselves and of the world around them. But family is not destiny. Family is influential, but not permanent in the mark they leave on someone. Knowing the bigger picture, or, in this case, the bigger family that one belongs is what really makes all the difference.
