I searched hard through the forums and could not come up with an answer. A few came close. If someone says I absolutely should not attempt this, I would listen. I lived in Japan when I was in the military and could speak japanese on a very beginners level, so I'm not completely new to japanese. I'd like to honor the fact that two of my children were born there by getting a tattoo that speaks to love of family, or something that means something equivalent. I wanted something that would not be super strange to a kanji reader (even though I know that japanese culture is different). I was thinking something like koishite ka zoku, or Ka Zoku Ai. I don't want to make a kanji or major language mistake though. Flame away if you want, but I'm all ears to people who truly understand the language. You can't hurt my feelings.
