But that's the great thing - families come in all shapes and sizes (actually that's the topic of one of my saved drafts). Sometimes we are born into a great family. Sometimes, we have to go out and make one. But in either case, it's not accidental. Great families (naturally forming or man-made) are deliberate in their purpose and while it took me a long time to realize it, I've come to believe that we can change our stars, change our legacy, change what we consider our family unit (and sometimes that means distancing ourselves from the one we were born into).

It is what we call home, a sense of belonging, a sense of being needed. You can not get more acceptance anywhere. Family knows you and takes you as you are. That's what my rose-glasses are showing me. But in reality my family is so messed up that at times I don't want to belong. Family is the most important community in one’s life.
