What's Family?

She's got the whole world in her hands.

What is family? Is it only blood bonds? I dare say it isn't. I have spent the last twenty years in various family constellation where my father has been the more stable of the two parents.
Something that quickly doubled my nearest family. So when my step-sister now four years ago gave birth to a little niece I haven't ever considered that as anything else than family. And baby-sitting her this weekend I don't feel any less bond to her, quite the opposite of course. A jewel! That she also managed to give us all a little nephew this spring that I godfathered and will guide in to his Christian life is of course an honor in itself and an acceptance.

The Family is dead, long live family
