Family
I talked to River today on the phone. Seems that he and Biosis are a lot more informal in their relationship than my mom's making it out to be. He says that they'll probably visit us sometime. That would be cool, extremely cool.
River doesn't think he's worthy of being a part of my family, the biological part. Apparently we've got this whole very strong family thing going, despite the way I have of going my own way, the way Biosis has of going her own way and doing her own thing... we've got very strong family ties despite us being on different sides of the country. There are a few things that my family does really brilliantly, and for the rest --
-- I've never seen a family that works as well as mine does. Yes, we've all got our faults and flaws. But we hang together where it counts, and there's none of the horrid dysfunctional crap that I hear about so much from a lot of other people's families.
Of all my friends here, I'd say that Darkside's got the strongest family bonds. He spends time with his family every week, and they have fun, even if they are playing golf. They care about each other, even though there are a few issues that they don't do so well with.
Votania has become part of my family, as has River. Neither Votania nor River grew up with an especially strong family: Votania was better-off when it came to family that sticks together, and River was better on the family that loves each other issue.
I'm glad I've got mine the way I do. We love each other *and* stick together *and* tolerate each other and let everyone do their own thing without interfering, generally.
