Family

Family is family is family.

You can't divorce family.

You can't leave family.

You can't separate from family.

You can think you can.

You can avoid it.

You can disown it.

But you can't stop the love.

It just keeps flowing in around you an ineffable force that cannot be stopped by rain, or snow, or sleet, or hail, or light, or darkness, and surely not words.

Once you are family, that's it. You just are.

Forever more. Amen.
