When Xena and I were in Ch'in helping Pao Su defeat Khan, Lin Qi asked me if I ever thought about settling down. He didn't mean marriage, but he was asking about where I put my roots down. I told him that people think that a home is a place, but I believe it can be a person. Xena is that for me.
I have my parents, my sister Lila, and my niece Sara, and they will always hold a special place in my heart. Xena is my soulmate. She completes me in ways that I never thought possible, and allows me to be who I was meant to be.
That's what I think family is. People that love you unconditionally, whether it's through blood or though other bonds. Sometimes our journey took unexpected twists and turns, but through it all, Xena has always been there for me. Even with the mistake that cost Solan his life. Xena is my home and my family.
