I think it really depends on who you think you need in your life(and also who is availablle for you in times of need). For me, My mom is #1, but I only realised this just recently. For those of you who have family that care about you, I think that those people are the ones that can give you the most love, although there will be people that enter in your life that will make you happy (i like to think of it as bonuses!) but the main thing is, family are the most important ones that you can be in a relationship with.

So, my suggestion, is why not give a close family member a call? even if you haven't talked in a while, or if there is a riff between you. and it doesn't have to be long, nor does it have to be anything in particular. just give them a call, even if it is literally " hi, just wanted to say hi......so, umm, yeah...well..thats it. talk to you later"

if you do, let me know how it goes
