Both titles carry a lot of weight. Family is easy, just follow your roots and branches, from siblings to cousins twice removed. LOL, but is there a connection?
Friends, another delicate title. First let’s define friend..”a person whom one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection, typically exclusive of sexual or family relations.” That’s deep, right?
Now can a family member be a friend? I say YES! That bond is what puts you together, that old saying we use in the military “I got Yo Six” meaning got your back, and will never, within their power, let you fall or fail, within the limits of the law..sometimes.. LOL
So be careful with those titles, they must work hand in hand or by default, they’re just regular folks.
