What is family?

My friend Heather shared some interesting thoughts in her comments. She said that...
Family are those who share the experiences life; the highs, lows and all that is in between. So what is blood? That which runs through our veins -- family extends beyond blood.
It is also fair to say that often those who share 'blood' ties, fail to share with us in the experiences of life. 

I think that friendship is surely one of the most profound gifts that God has given to the human race.  Deep friendships, full of love, sacrifice and devotion are surely the glue that hold all of us together.  Friendship sets us apart from the animal kingdom.

I believe that the goal of healthy parenting is to be able to count your children among your closest friends when they have reached maturity.
