Family. These are the people you trust. The people that you run to when your scared. You have hurt each other, and you have healed each other. Family has been your strongest support, your constant assurance.
Family is not just a word. Family describes a bond that goes deeper than time and distance. Family sees past all the things you can not see past in yourself.
Family will not baby you. They will spank your bottom and tell you to get over yourself.
But before you ever get a boyfriend, warn him. If he breaks your heart, Family will make him regret it.
Family has hurt itself. It has torn shallow gaps across a deep bond. Sometimes those gaps take a little while to be sewn back together, but they are eventually either fixed or forgotten.
All this is because it is Family. It is what we do. Family.

A poster, a penny, a poodle, and Nigeria.
Go!
