Hearts and snoozes

Most everyone stands shoulder to shoulder with their family when they are very young.

When you are little it doesn't matter if Mama is Mata Hari, Papa is Jack the Ripper, and Grandmother is a banshee, they are your family and those other offspring are your siblings. You are ready, willing and able to die for them!

But can you live with them?

That is the question that comes up later on, once their unique little personalities start to blossom out and you realize that you are not a lonely little petunia in an onion patch, but a perfectly normal human being living in a desert surrounded by cactus.

Beautiful cactus! Cacti with gorgeous red blooms and the ability to withstand all predators due to their long pointy spines. Cactus that can withstand droughts other people never dreamed of.

Nor needed to dream of.

That is when you discover a family of the heart and the snooze button on Facebook.
