Day 24 - Family
Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws...by blood, by marriage, by choice, by chance... family is beautiful and complicated, hilarious and unlike any other relationship on earth. We are collectively a loving mess of flawed human-ness and well-intentioned, compassionate, humanity. This time of year places the microscope firmly over the dance that we do with one another as a family, and if I think too long about it I start to feel anxious about the whole thing. But if I don't think about it, I just feel about it...I know one thing with absolute certainty: I'm so incredibly grateful that I have all of these people, this cast of players, in my family. There is no one who can make me laugh as hard, feel as deeply or teach me as much as this amazing group of human beings...
