Well, family isn't always blood. I'm certain you found those who mattered to you, regardless of relation.

[She looks wistful, the gentle nostalgia of recalling happy memories, as she replies.]

Oh, always kind- we had our arguments from time to time, as anyone does, but we never quarreled for too long. They were always there when I needed them, and on those occasions when they couldn't be, one of my aunts or uncles was there in their place, just as they did the same for my cousins. We... all looked out for each other, really. We knew we were stronger together than apart.
