The family is the source of happiness to everyone’s life. Family, a word that so many know, but only few understand, what is it. The definition of family is, a house hold, ones own spouse, parents and children. Some may say friendship, love, and joy. My family is my support system, my mother, aunts, and cousins all provide me with some type of support or guidance. To me family means love, friendship, and support. And, a family can be two or more people who share goals and values, have long-term commitments to one another, and usually live in the same house.
