Family
Family. I have learned what family is the hard way. You are my family if even when you didn’t understand you supported, you are family when you protected me from those who have wanted to hurt. You are family if you treat my children, not the way you think you should but, the way you think I would. You are family if you have reached out to see if I am ok. If you have lived with me, laughed with me, cried with me, and grown with me.
I no longer take the idea of family lightly. We are not all family, nor should we be. We can be friends, acquaintances, but family is a special place reserved for those in my life who have proven through time and trial, that they deserve the title.
