Family includes the people who will drop everything when you need them -- and the ones who recognize when you really need them (even if you say you don't).

Blood is definitely important--I would call on anyone in my traditional family, and I know they would answer. I also am lucky enough to have some friends - both lifelong and more recent - whom I know would do the same.
