Family is of the blood in the beginning and of choice as the adult replaces the child. Those of blood remain family but not as close as those we select by choice. Should those that are blood become those of choice as well, there is sweetness and love beyond explanation.
Accept choice made by others as to family for each selects based on need. Some need to nurture and others need to serve. Our energy draws those we need to us and we become their choice as they become ours. This is how family works.
Know this for many do not understand its import. Family changes. The choices may be the same but the criteria for those choices change. We evolve as do those we consider family.
This is not to say that we dismiss family. Family is family and remains family. As choice replaces blood in the selection process, blood remains family. Accepted as such. The difference is in the embrace. We accept those that are family of blood or of earlier choices. We embrace those that are of choice regardless of blood, former choice, or choice of us as we are now.
