Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind. Or forgotten.

That line will still reduce me to tears, every. single. time. I wish I could explain to some people, my husband especially, how deeply I believe that line and how keenly I miss the parts of my family I've had to leave behind, for one reason or another.

It's hard for someone with deep-seated trust issues to build a family, you know? Really hard.

This is my family. I found it, all on my own. It's little, and broken, but still good. Yeah, still good.


I hope I'm still good.
