With one's birth family one is forced to be a part of each other's lives. With spouses and friends one chooses to be a part of their lives. Both types of family are vital to my existence.

we are family
As a kid you learn that your family consists of parents, children , aunts , uncles, grandparents and cousins. As an adult I have learned that family consists of much more than just blood relatives. Family consists of those close to you who one chooses to be a part your life. This includes spouses as well as close friends.
With one's birth family one is forced to be a part of each other's lives. With spouses and friends one chooses to be a part of their lives. Both types of family are vital to my existence.
As my life moves on the lines that divide biological and chosen family has blurred. This is as it should be. Family is family.

i fully agree!
It's actually interesting that what you consider family (i.e parents) were actually strangers at some point...
ZP- Its funny you should mention that parents once were strangers. As a kid it was hard to sink in that my parents weren't related, they were family because they were married.
