Family.

"That's how family gets made. Not ceremonies or certificates, not by parties and celebrations. Family gets made wen you decide to hold hands and sit shoulder to shoulder when it seems the sky is falling. Family gets made when the world becomes strange and disorienting, and the only face you recognize is his, Family gets made when the future obscures itself like a solar eclipse, and in the intervening darkness, you decide that no matter what happens in the night, you'll face it as one."
