Wow I love this so much. I've been mulling over this same question of what a family means, and to me it has never come down to something as simple as blood. Thank you for sharing this.

dear esme, thank you for sharing this!

dear sophie, thank you for sharing this!

these lines are so beautiful and meaningful and fun:

"People prefer me to be towards the front at a wedding, because my tears are so reliably present and tasteful."

"Here was my family, making more family."

"Here was a human woman putting on the hat of a god."

"Your family now are the people who still know that you are precious, and perfect, and held."

thank you for sharing!

love

The possibilities for family are endless, and I truly love thinking that the idea of family is growing and getting more loving all the time. Thanks Sophie.
