Family: Near or Far

Family, whether by birth or by bond, is always with us.

They live in our thoughts, in the memories of shared celebrations and quiet sorrows.

 In moments of joy, frustration, laughter, or tears, their presence lingers.

 Whether near or far, their impact never fades.

Our families shape us in ways we don’t always realize.

They are woven into the fabric of our daily lives,

 reflected in our habits, echoed in our choices,

and revealed in the smallest gestures.

A phrase we repeat, a dish we cook, a value we hold dear,

 all speak of the family that raised, nurtured, or stood by us.

Foster families, chosen families, or those we’re born into,

 they give us roots and wings.

They are our source of inspiration and admiration,

giving us both a reason to be and the strength to become.

No matter where you are,

far away or close,

the best way to honor your family is to carry on with the good things you saw in them and always keep your focus on that.

That is the truest legacy and the greatest possession you can have.

Make the most of what you have, and create the best from what you've grown.
