What does Family look like?

As I looked at these pictures today of my son on his visit home last year, with his two older sisters and the children of all, I was stunned at the reality of it, and what family really looks like in this day and time. In the picture, Saul sits with his 1/2 sister who he had only met 6 or 7 years before and his step-sister, later to become his 1/2 sister by his adoption, and the children; his one and their 3. I looked at this and said to myself, "anything is possible."

To write about the history of this group would be a novel for certain. The story of each grown child and how they entertwine really would be a best seller. How each smiles and overcomes to "become" a responsible, loving, person is nothing short of a marvel. Perhaps, one day, with permissions, someone will find the courage to write about it.
