I define family differently than most. I rarely see any of my blood family, except for my siblings. I see them a few times a week on average. I consider my close family to be my good friends. I see most of them about as much as I see my family, but we definitely don't need to talk every day.
DaniGirl's husband does freak out a bit if I go too long without contacting him, though... =p
When It comes to hospital things, we're always there for each other though. Like when my sister had her first child all our friends/family were there. We literally had like 30-40 people in that hospital hallway. (We didn't all fit in the room.) It was like a birth party! The nurses said it was the funnest birth they've ever done.
So, I'm pretty damn close with those I consider family, but I'm not dependent on them.
