In 10 out of 10 situations, I would put my family above all else.
Growing up and seeing how my parents interact with their families and how my immediate and extended families help each other out in the time of need or just come over to shoot the crap had a profound effect on me and how I perceive family and family relations. There are few things in life I value more and the sooner people who are getting to know me learn that, the more they will understand where I am coming from with many of my ideals and ways of thinking. My ex once asked if I loved her more than I loved my sister. She wasn't happy with the answer, so say the least.
Now to answer the question directly - yes, I am extremely close with my family. My mom and sister most of all. My sister and mine relationship closely mimics that of my mom and her brother.
