Recently in one of the social networks I belong to, a question was posed that gave me a brief pause. Who do call your family and who are your relatives?  What is the difference? While this may be an easy answer for some, its has been more complex for me.

I’ve decided to keep it simple. If you are my family, I know and love you and vise versa. We have a sincere and trusting relationship. I’ve been blessed to have a large and loving family. On the other hand, you may be biologically related to me and in this lifetime we may never meet.
