My definition of family is a real-beating heart. This symbol represents a real heart, real love family has for each other. A heart is the most valuable organ in the body, without it we wouldn't be alive. The heart, just like family, need to be taken cared of, otherwise it would get sick or would not work anymore. Another good example is that the heart takes the good oxygen and rejects carbon dioxide. This symbolizes the good and bad moments a family has.
