My family

My family

I have 4 brothers and 2 sisters
1 mom and 1 dad.

I am however only biologically related to 3 of my siblings but both of my parents

See I come from a family where we believe that family is not something you are born with, it's something you earn.

You don't become a mother by giving birth, you become a mother by loving and nurturing that child

You don't become a father by making a woman pregnant you become a father by protecting and taking care of your family

You don't become a sibling by being my parents other children you become a sibling, by guiding, defending and loving your family.

So when you tell me that my sisters or brothers are only my half sibling or not my siblings at all I beg to differ see how can they be half sibling when I love them with all my heart and how can we not be family if they are the ones that have protected, nurtured, loved and guided me?

See blood might be thicker than water but our bonds are stronger than bones.
