For those who don t have relatives close here s what family means to me. My extended family includes: dear friends who are special to me, people who understand who I am and who I am striving to be. Associates in work and play, people I can rely on, professionals whose services help to make my body strong. Caregivers are family sharing a heartfelt bond, not always blood related but going that step beyond. Neighbours are a type of family as they see us go to and fro, exchanging words of friendship, they are good people to know. So celebrate BC Family Day in gratitude for friends, people who bring joy to your life as those are the best family blends. Jean Kay poetrytoinspire.com 1
