Prompt 2 - Family
Family
My family has changed so much since I first understood what that meant. My whole world had been my parents and my brothers and sisters. Then I met Lucas, his mom, and Keith which made the definition of family change. I don't just mean the story of Lucas' life that I heard a million times that it made me want to slit my wrists sometimes. I meant that I understood that family wasn't just blood, it was through the heart.
Keith may not have been Lucas' father in reality, but he was in every other way that counted. Lucas wasn't my brother by blood, but he was the brother of my heart. Sometimes I felt closer to him than I did with any of my other brothers.
The meaning of family changed again when I met Nathan. He became my love and my husband, the first year we met. I still had my family that were now scattered around the map, but my true family was Nathan. It's true, that you leave your family and vow to make a life with someone else when you marry them. I would always be a daughter and sister, but now I was Nathan's wife.
Family once again changed its meaning a few weeks ago. I'm now a mother with a family of my own. I have a son, James Lucas Scott and before his birth I never thought it was possible to love this much.
There are families that are made by blood, and families that are made by the heart. I'm very lucky to have both in my life.
