update:

At the end of it all, the point of family (and I realize this now) is to hold you close and embrace you. To give you a place where you belong no matter what state you’re in. Tired, browbeaten, gross, humiliated - family welcomes you with food and hugs and a warmth that says i love you in tiny, tiny ways over and over and over again.

About:

that's when i realized that words have wings;
they're kind of like birds but mostly like children,
whom you groom and raise.
you mold them and shape them well
and, like the sky that has no limits,
you hope that someday,
somebody will take them home,
call them their own;
that they will find a place to belong.
