My birth family is a collection of highly-differentiated people whose only commonality seems to be a shared gene pool. We tend to be strong-minded, a gathering of chiefs rather than consortium of partners. Even when we don't understand others, we can strive for compassion. Even if we are not all linked by affection or at least shared history, we can always be linked by respect. THAT is the family reality I hold in my heart.
