Family is people of the same blood as you, not physically, but spiritually.<\/p>\n<p>I remember one day after a few miscarriages that my friend in California said she had hoped we would be pushing baby carriages together. Now her children are older and gorgeous, and I&#8217;m just starting to push my baby carriage.<\/p>\n<p>Flower was here this weekend with her little bud. We were sitting on the floor of Tin&#8217;s room watching them play and she said, I want our kids to grow up together and be friends. I can barely write this without tearing up from the cacophony of emotions those words inspired. I dropped Flower and little bud at the airport and had to keep windshield wipering my eyes. I miss my mom. I miss Flower. I long for a future where Tin and her little bud are friends.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"6284\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.dangermond.org\/?attachment_id=6284\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.dangermond.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/b3.jpg?fit=450%2C337&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"450,337\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.7&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;EX-S880&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1263745959&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;6.2&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0166666666667&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"b\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.dangermond.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/b3.jpg?fit=450%2C337&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6284\" title=\"b\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.dangermond.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/b3.jpg?resize=450%2C337\" alt=\"b\" width=\"450\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.dangermond.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/b3.jpg?w=450&amp;ssl=1 450w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.dangermond.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/b3.jpg?resize=300%2C224&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My grandma and your grandma sitting by the fire, my grandma told your grandma I&#8217;m going to set your flag on fire.
