/ˈfam(ɪ)li/

a group of individuals who provide emotional, social, and sometimes economic support to each other. This concept goes beyond blood relations and includes those with whom we share deep, meaningful connections—friends, mentors, community members, and even chosen families. These relationships are built on love, trust, loyalty, and mutual care.

We should be grateful for family because it offers a foundation of support and belonging. Family is where we often find unconditional love, understanding, and the strength to face life's challenges. It’s a source of comfort in difficult times and a place where we can celebrate our joys. Being part of a family, however we define it, enriches our lives with shared experiences, a sense of identity, and a network of care that helps us grow and thrive.
