THOUGHTS ON WHY WE CALL IT "EXTENDED FAMILY"

By Marcelo Ferreira Gustafsson

Instinct to establish formalities connections silver threads to mend traumas anomalies evaporates in debates	An extended family consists of people we find to fulfill the roles; of support when it’s not present
Allegiance sweet tart taste on tongues in negotiations arguments in form without beating fingers red With love	They took the opportunity to thank their “extended family” No one can speak to the magnitude of ”better than those who have been kicked out and are homeless Whether you are completely rejected
paradigms are fluid do not forget to robe your next and cherry-pick gold from lead to store in pockets Extended families often provide	increased tension This can look like almost anything and in most cases is defined to be purposefully broad and encompassing. Chosen families are meant to pull people together, not shut them out through ridged definitions
A chain is joined and forms a ring in celebration to the importance of parts	somewhere to sleep, a place to vent, a support-system and unconditional love
Tell us your story and we'll tell you ours we’ll all ears, take your time;	The increase in individualism combined with the necessity for social support The increase in individualism combined with the necessity for social support
