a receipe for: a happy family

humbled by my parents' love and how much they are willing to set aside just because we are theirs. and i am further humbled because i know what kind of children we are- my brother and i are not the easiest of children in ourselves, let alone to raise, not by a long shot.

i think over the past ten minutes and see how important kindness is. which brings a groan within because i know who i am and what i'm most like. hope of redemption, yes, always, but sometimes people have more to redeem and i am one of those.

kindness, and then some joy. some laughter that makes lovers crinkle their eyes at each other, and until they have a baby to laugh at. it don't matter how he look like, tall and fat is as good as any if he has a heart that beats right.

i dunno, maybe it's because i'm in a sombre mood i feel the most despairing and boring of people. like, Lord, let it be, could i be ones of these? but, ahwell. as i was saying-

kindness and gentleness, with lots of laughter in between; how's that for a family receipe.
