There’s just something about being with family that makes you feel warm inside — it doesn’t matter if it’s Thanksgiving Day or a random Wednesday night.

Familial bonds certainly can have an influence on your well-being, whether it’s your biological family or the family you create on your own. You depend on them for advice, emotional support or even as a resource to come bail you out of trouble.
