Happiness is family??

uff! that a huge question, and maybe with a lot lot of answers.
I have to say that, in my opinion, happiness depends of a million things, and family could be or not a responsable of that. There´s a lot of relationships in every person´s lifes that could be as important as the relationship with your family, or, who knows, even more important.

In my particular experience, my family it´s a huge part of my life, every one it´s very important to me, not only my mother, father and my brother, but also my granparents, my ancles, and my cousins. I also considered as a part of my family my little stepsister, ´cause she´s been living with me since she is about two years old (know she´s eight), and we really get along; she´s the sweetest thing ever.
I also considered my friends as one of the most important parts of my life.
