Life’s a process. Healing’s a process. You commit to it one step, one moment at a time. Then you look at what you’ve done, give yourself a pat on the back, and drudge up the faith for that next step. So I’m asking you, Hattie, what’s your

“There was another reason. The main one.”
“Reason?” I said stupidly.
"Why I married you.”
"Which was?” I don’t know what I expected him to say, perhaps some further revelation of his family’s contorted affairs. What he did say was more of a shock, in its way.
"Because I wanted you.” He turned from the window to face me. “More than I ever wanted anything in my life,” he added softly.”

“What is family? They were the people who claimed you. In good, in bad, in parts or in whole, they were the ones who showed up, who stayed in there, regardless. It wasn't just about blood relations or shared chromosomes, but something wider, bigger. We had many families over time.
