Traveling today to a place of family, a place where there are family members of all kinds, a place with cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, sisters, brothers, mothers and fathers.
In this place of just one's kindred are people with your same genetics, similar DNA, similarities of facial appearances and physical make-up, same family childhood backgrounds, a place of familiarity, a place of closeness, a place of acceptance, these people who are your family who knew you when you were just a child.
A family that remembers you and knows of all your trials and tribulations, a family that can offer compassion and support as even just their one smile can erase the multitude of hardships you have encountered in your life.
A family member, someone who is glad they know you, someone who will break their back to help you, a family who cares and has concern.
An extension of many family members, cousins and cousins once/twice removed, distant cousins, cousins who live in different lands, a chain of links with many people and then there being still more people, a binding chain with each link firmly in place, and you yourself being one of those links, in a chain that never breaks.
Showing good will and love and kindness to all your relatives, to those in your memory too who are deceased, to have a lineage from both parents and to have it all come together inside you as a unity, a total composite, your body, mind and heart, having been created by two parents and you then being a product of oneness, in unity of them as a pair of twoness.
The solidity of family unity, a family who is proud of themselves, of where they came from, and of who they are now. A family who is proud of you and you too have pride in them.
