Abstract
Family, the people who sit with you at events you never wanted to go to anyway. Who make you laugh, make you cry, and come to get you when your car breaks down. Who pay attention to the details, and hang in there as best they can. Who forgive you your stupidity even as you forgive theirs. These are the people who see past their own egos, faults and failings and do their best to give you a place in their hearts and homes. People for whom you find a place in your heart and home to return the favor. People who came in to love you and will ultimately leave you anyway, just as you will leave them, by choice, or time passing, or by that random house falling on your head. Knowing that love even when it changes form, endures. Wishing, hoping, believing, that somewhere, somehow, we will all meet up again. Somewhere over that rainbow. Families and children and in-laws, oh my! Oh my indeed!
