You can pick your nose, but you can't pick your family. Isn't that how it goes?

Who NEEDS family anyway?

I don't have a mom or dad, and haven't had most of my life. What family life I did have, once upon a time, was very dysfunctional. Isn't everyone's?

My sisters and I have had to make it on our own, and we've all been quite successful, in different ways. I don't value their contribution to the world, but that's their business.

I give a lot to my kids and friends, and I can only hope they appreciate it. I don't expect anything back, and I'm never disappointed.

Life is too short.
