The Sum of It

Hippies and little kids and musicians and people who believe that all government is evil and white men are out to get us...
People so consumed with politics and what legislator said what and what word got changed in what bill and who's going to win the next election...
Organic brussel sprouts and unsalted peanut butter (gross, but better for you) and cupcakes that are...well...not organic or unsalted...
A boy struggling to make it and parents with two very different daughters who are still dependent on them in their own ways...a sister who can be so strong and so weak in a single conversation and a niece who is finally learning how to say my name...ailing grandparents who have so much to live for that they their spirits refuse to let go...
Friends discovering themselves and having the strength to be completely honest about their journey...
Homes and family across the country and dreams that seem to be coming true...
These are the choices and the people that make up my life.
