I’m realizing lately how much family counts for.

Even with a family with a history like mine, we still all feel this duty (I’d say love, but I don’t want to speak for anyone else’s motivations, for me it’s love) to take care of each other. And I’ve noticed how rare that is in families lately. Just the ease with which people get thrown into nursing hoes… it scares me.

I know not everyone has a family like this. My family is weird because we have a lot of the bad things that can happen in families, some of them really bad things, and yet we still have this connection to each other, this rootedness, that seems very important to each of us in our own ways.
