Family is like a Poker Hand
We can choose our friends but not being able to choose our family is like a poker hand. Some of us have a full house, some of us have crap and some don’t get any cards at all. The cards we are dealt, tho’, are not a measure of how good a poker player we are. It’s what we do with the cards that count. It’s the same with our family–it absolutely influences our life but it is not a measure of who we are and we do not have to let our family decide our fate.
