The Weekly Photo Challenge topic is Family. I believe in unconventional families, so I’m going to respond to the topic with an unconventional post. I believe we have many “families” throughout our lives: biological families, work families, church families, etc., but the dearest family can sometimes be the one made up of our closest friends.
I love my biological family very much, but there were many times in my life that I felt very different from them. It’s hard to be the only girl amongst 6 boys and feel like you fit in. I think you find your “natural” family as you go through your life and meet people with the same interests.
Rarely do members of the same family grow up under the same roof.

One of my best friends is a childhood friend. We have been friends for 50 years. I don’t have children, but her daughter is the closest thing to my own daughter that I can have, not only because she is the daughter of a beloved friend, but because we have a LOT in common. She is a bright, thoughtful young woman who loves art, animals, and taking pictures…the same things that I love! Lately the three of us have spent a lot of time together, taking walks and taking pictures. So…I’m sharing pictures of this special “family.”
How special to have a friend’s daughter that is your friend too!

Agree wholeheartedly, although I was the only girl and ended up quite the tomboy. Always felt special and spoiled rather than different. But agree that friends are family too!

Tina, I was a tomboy too…I loved climbing trees. 🙂
My brothers told me I was spoiled and made me feel guilty about it. Not their fault, it was just how I felt, like I was undeserving and not as worthy.
