Some people are born into loving families
Some are born into families that don't care.
Some people choose their own families,
surrounding themselves with people of like mind.
Some people have children to create
the family they always wanted.
some people never have kids
fearful that their family will become like their parents'.
Some people run to record the family history,
some run from the family, changing their name in the hopes of creating a new life.
These are all parts of my family.
When I was growing up, becoming my own person,
I hurt my family with my separateness,
but now we all come together.
We celebrate, watch our families grow
through marriage and other life events
we enjoy each others company
even though the family is spread 6000 miles apart.
There is a caring and a common thread of
kindness - joy - support - love
