La Familia, Pensamientos

Familia
It is where I come from and where I am going.
It is a chain not to be broken,
Of having roots of being sembrada.
Its importance is above all.
It is responsibility.
A history in the making, a never ending story.
It is how tradition goes from mother to daughter, daughter to granddaughter
It is like having immortality.
It is about Abuelas, Abuelos, Madres y Padres Tias y Tios,
Hermanos y Hermanas, Hijos y Nietos.
It gives one a sense of belonging.
Familia is so much like a river,
It can bathe you or drown you.
Its noise can drive you insane or it can lullaby you to sleep.
It sustains when all else fails.
It is a mystical and magical healer.
Its blood is akin to mortar, sealing and holding together.
Esto es Familia. This is truly family.
