Because your family is part of you...same genes...same dna...same relations...you cant choose your family...you have to protect, help and rely on them when friends would have bailed...
Of course some friends can become like family, but that doesnt happen too often does it...think of all the friends you have...how many of them are like your own family...
There's my opinon...with all 19 10/12ths years of my experience ploughed into it

I have a friend of 16 years and I would move the world for her if it would help, we know each other so much that it is scary some times. I would do more for her than some of my family. Why... she does not judge me... she listens... she does not give a shit if I don't take her advice... she knows the right things to say and makes me smile when I feel like crap.. oh yeah, she makes great cheesecakeStarblayde said:

For me it is becuase we shared most of the same experience growing up. Same parents, same town etc... You build a bond through similar experience that usually gets stronger in time. You know who that true person is, why they are the way are, and they know you for yourself.
Only a few friends can come close to being on that same level.

Re: hmmm...
Excellent!
Can I hijack this thread for just a second? I promise to give it right back.
Giving blood is giving the gift of life. Literally. If you are physically able, please consider donating blood at your local Red Cross or other blood gathering institution. It will only take about an hour out of your life and it is something you can do to directly help others.

Blood is only slighly thicker...
It's because blood is water with junk in it.
Yes that's the sci term for it.

Blood *isn't* thicker then water. My extended family has done some pretty fucked up shit to me, my brother, my cousin, and to each other... and then expected *me* to appologize for their mistakes and prejudices. That's over a year ago, and they haven't admitted to their mistake since.
Nope - I can definitely let them go. Seems harsh, but family, to me, are those who accept me unconditionally.

Okay, now that the thread is back on track...
Blood is thicker than water, yes it is. I will always support my family members, even if I don't always like them. I'll always love them, and that's what counts. I also know they will always love me, no matter what I do.

"Flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood". Family is an extension of one's self and (generally) are drawn together with common bonds and interests. Long ago family was all there was. Friends were far away and seldom seen. I do believe deeply that there is something about a Mother's love for her children that transcends any and all of life's problems. This is probably stronger than a Father's love for his children (though only slightly). If I have learned one thing in life, it's don't fuck with a Mother and her children.!

family and friends
I have friends who are emotionally closer to me than family. We have stronger relationships. However, that doesn't mean I'm willing to foresake what family means to me.
Have a child or live through an average of 4-5 funerals for the majority of you life like I have, and maybe you'd have a different perspective on what family means.
I lost an aunt two years ago. We weren't particularily close. In fact, she said hurtful things to me as a child and the memories of them still sting. As I got older, I came to understand more of who she was and why. That's not excusing her actions, but maturity and experience gave me a different perspective.
When she died, I grieved in a way I was totally unprepared for. This was a woman whom I never felt close to and yet her death sent a shock and realization through me that I can't explain to you. Her death struck deep mourning. It changed the dynamics of our family like no other death that preceeded it.
For whatever she was, she was apart of the fabric that defined my life and her death was as significant ripping away a portion of fine tapestry. My aunt was there my entire life. No matter how peripheral her existence had been, she was undeniably an integral marker in our family. I could gauge memories by visits to her house on the holidays. Her six children were my only first cousins. She was my mother's protector and my mother cared for everyone else in turn. Losing her was losing a spoke in the wheel.
My generation is now responsible for maintaining the family. We have almost know familial elders left. All my life there was someone else looking over us. Now, what seems suddenly, that responsibility lies with us.
Family will do you wrong like nobody's business. They cause irrepairable harm. Many in that same lineage will draw their last breath telling you they love you and mean it. They will thank you for not foresaken them despite their unworthiness.
Sorry for the rambling. I come from serious dsyfunction and yet my family is my anchor. They have stood by me and meant what they said that "if one has a penny, we all have a penny." As screwed up as we are, we'd give our lives for one another. That's what it means to know that blood is thicker than water.
Any friend willing to do the same is family. No contradiction exists for me.
Peace,
daughter
