A long farewell.

Family is much more than those related to us by blood.  Our family is comprised of those who genuinely care for us. Those who embrace us and make us feel loved and appreciated. 

As I sit here in this hospital room, I realise how important this real family is. As I sit at a deathbed, I see the beauty of familial love and care. 

I see how a family goes out of it's way to make sure that a loved one doesn't die alone. I wasn't born into this family, I wasn't even legaly adopted into this family and still… We're a family. A family mourning together. 

A family showing their love and support. A family saying a long farewell.
