FAMILY LOYALTY AND LOVE

I remember when my first book was going to come out. The Publisher needed some answers to question to make a pr.
"What's your families names?"
"Eh, I don't have a family!"
"Your parents are dead?"
I felt so embarrassed that I didn't think, or feel that I had a family. For me I thought they were asking about if I had children and a husband. That day, I started to think why I had answered the way I did.

Do you feel you have a family from blood or loyalty?
