Ohana

"Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind — or forgotten."

Thanksgiving 2010  

I come from a pretty big family, and even though we don't always function correctly we will always be family. My definition of family is a group of people that love each other unconditionally, no matter if they make them mad, upset, or they even go against their word.
Yes blood does make you related, but it's the loyalty that makes you family. In the picture posted there are three people who aren't considered family by blood, but you would never know that. Not every family is perfect.
Trust me we go through a LOT! but sometimes you just have to let your pride go and realize at the end of the day family is forever. Nobody has your back like your family does. I love my loyal, sometimes dysfunctional family. I wouldn't trade them for the world!
