is it a stupid question..maybe for some but for those who cant get along with or wont get along with thier blood family or find yourself in a place where your blood family is far away...if you open your eyes you may find family in a friend or a group of friends and what may surprise you is that the dynamic may be inviting encouraging and beneficial...lucky are the few that can sustain a relationship that makes you feel better about yourself..blessed are the ones that can return the favor
