I dedicate this to my dog. You can dedicate this to your present family. I dedicate this to my mom. We can all dedicate this to the future families.
My family may “just” be me n’my dog, but we do all of this really well already. We’re real, we’re sorry, we do prayers before and after everything. We’re forgiving, we’re really loud. We cuddle.
And boy we do love.

A beautiful reminder that everyone could use. I'm making one of these to hang in my kitchen!
[...] If I’m lucky, I’ll more fully become friends with myself, and get to be a part of a family that does loud really well, does second chances, does grace, sorry, and second chances. In the meantime I’ll thank my past lovers for being among my greatest teachers, and (with [...]

And FYI – Mine is dedicated to my crazy beautiful patchwork of a family…on two legs & four legs, by blood & by choice. We loud. We do real. We do messy and muddy and cuddly and infinite do-overs. And I love Marco's addition…we do forgiveness.
[...] splashing in puddles with my son. I love rolling in the leaves with my daughter. I love snuggling my family…the two legged ones and the four legged ones. I love my French press. I love foggy days. And [...]
