My Family

As I admired my boyfriend's nephew and godson, and the others admiring this cute tiny miracle, I was thinking about the value and complexcity of the word "family".

You see, if you would have asked me, who are my family, I would have replied 10 years ago: me, my mother and my father. But now things have changed. These days my family is huge amount of people, some of them I have not even met.

Who are my family then?
Well, my mother and my boyfriend. My mother's siblings, their spouses and their children, my cousins, and their partners and kids. Then there are my dear friends; from childhood, junior high, high school, university, friends of the family and from clusterheadaches.com.

Naturally, because I'm in love, I'm getting brand new people to add to my family. As long as we're together, my boyfriend's friends and family are part of my family, too.

The word "family" might be hard to explain these days with immediate family, married family, extendened family, one's selected family and etc., but the color, joy, enrichment that all these people bring into one's life cannot be easily explained either. That all is, simply, priceless. I'm already smiling when I just think about my family... =)
