One word can describe family: Everything. From hurts and joys to aches and laughter. Death may be the strangest occurrence in life. We know it's gonna happen- there's no avoiding it, yet when we come to that crossroad we have a tumultuous sensation of pain, grief, doubt, and some instances happiness. To reason through and intake all that is it could take days, weeks, months, even years to requite our emotions to the reckoning of death.
When a beloved goes so does our heart, blood, tears just as their's, but for different reasons.
I recall your writing about the death of your mother and the line hoping that Heaven be treating her well. I'm sure that this writing was sent to her as a gift for the well-being of her child, you.
This is beautiful. To look at times of the past and reflect on them whether good or bad, it is a good way to learn and grow along with connecting with family.
I especially love the last line. It definitely fits in with the idea that it isn't where or when something happens, it's who it's with that matter's most. Reminds me of a little quote by someone whom I forgot the name of, but,
"Live for the nights you can't remember with the friends you'll never forget."
The progress in detail of this stranger-than-fiction word 'love' in a personal way is astounding. From words, actions, feelings and meaning, it's all there.
As long as the hands of time turn, love will come again.
The birth of Jesus made possible not just a new way of understanding life but a new way of living it.

A man is born through a woman, and he is raised by a woman, and he falls in love with a woman, and he marries a woman. And I am surprised about the man, who don't respect a woman.
