We define ourselves by our family. From birth we share their names, entrust them to protect that which we hold most dear. We value them above all others, and yet inevitably, we are forced apart. Promises are made then left unkept. Children in particular turn their backs on those who raised them, seeking lives of their own. The bond of family is not a bond forged by choice. In fact, some would see family as a terrible burden.
