To me, a family member is not simply someone that shares blood. Someone who is a part of my family is a person who can count on me, and I on them. People in my family will not judge me based on my mistakes, and nor will I judge them because of theirs. A family member of mine usually knows me well enough that they can give me critique about how I'm doing, and I can return the favor without causing grief. I am so thankful that I have such a large family, and as being your family member, I am always praying for your well being and happiness while you're here :)
