1/15/14

When the word family is brought up there are always the usual people you think of. Your parents, sibling, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, the people you're blood related to. And then if you're really lucky, you think of your other family. Those that you might not share DNA with, but you might as well.

Those special people who stay by your side no matter what.

I've been thinking about families a lot recently and it has made me realize that the people you surround yourself with, if they're good people, will become family. Because not everyone gets blessed with a good one so you have to make your own.

And one day, if you're really lucky, you'll look around and realize that you've made a great family for yourself. Out of people you love and who love you. Out of people you share DNA with and people who you might as well.

Love,
Natalie

I don’t care about whose DNA has recombined with whose. When everything goes to hell, the people who stand by you without flinching—they are your family.
