“There is no such thing as a "broken family." Family is family, and is not determined by marriage certificates, divorce papers, and adoption documents. Families are made in the heart. The only time family becomes null is when those ties in the heart are cut. If you cut those ties, those people are not your family. If you make those ties, those people are your family. And if you hate those ties, those people will still be your family because whatever you hate will always be with you.”
I don't know who this person is but I saw this and couldn't say it better. To see our party come together with my family from here and NC, her father's family from here, her stepmother's family from Baltimore, and "his" parents from PA, including step siblings, step aunts/uncles/cousins/grandparents/ and a great grandparent...it was incredible to see the support these kids have. We are blessed their step families welcomed them like they were their own, and I am fortunate my parents have done the same for my step children. We are so far from broken...
