Today's Writing Prompt: Family
Why are families important? What do families provide that makes them better than living on our own?
I was going to make all kinds of emotional reasons for why family is important but a chat on Facebook with some friends right now is about traditions, in this particular case about Lent. It seems to me that family grounds us, gives us a place where we can feel like we belong to something more than ourselves. I think that may be why family is so important.
