Family - noise, joy, background and food and four-year-old energy.
Children have so much more energy than we adults, all the time.
We get older and slower and like turtles eventually we falter and cease to move much at all.
Family, distraction, shrieks of the youngest cousin at play. Football always in the background, never quiet, never peaceful, but always surrounded by love and a feeling of belonging.
Family. Home.
Not my family by birth, but they are my family by choice, by love, for life. Holidays and random visits, something I had and lost once long ago.
Family was small. Mother, brother, me, sometimes grandparents.
now there are aunts and uncles and cousins and siblings by love and not by birth.
Now there is him, and everything he brings, and I am happy.
I have Family.
