About This Story

Family is everything, and everyone’s family is different. Families do not have to match. Families do not have to be connected by DNA. Family is what we make it. Family is a feeling. Take a moment and listen to what families mean to some of our storytellers throughout North Carolina. Listen as they reflect on their aspect of family and what it means to them. Share with us what family means to you by clicking the link
