Liv was a surprise for Con and I. We had Eleanor and that was enough, then when I was forty-four she came into our world. She’s nearly twenty-three now and still hasn’t settled down. She’s close to Soph and Saul’s kids, especially Isaac. After fostering for years, they finally wanted to adopt when three brothers came to stay at their house. What started as foster kids ended as their adopted children. Isaac was six, Tobias five, and Lawson was only eight months. Liv was nearly two by then and latched onto her new cousins easily.
I can see Saul and Soph clasping hands, this is hard for them, I can see it on their faces. Tobias supports his dad while Lawson holds his mum’s other hand. Rounding off our inner circle of family, all of whom surround the coffin as the priest talks, is Eric and Rich. Rich holds an arm around his husband as Eric quietly cries into his chest. As I have, many times over the years, I once again feel my heart swell with the love I carry for my family.
Our family has grown a lot and today we once again realise loss, but we will always be there for one another. Always holding each other up and loving each other unconditionally. Always remembering this is the family we chose, this is the family we wanted. These are the people that have got us through every obstacle we’ve faced. Together. If I went back to the beginning, I wouldn’t do a thing differently. I’ll love these people forever and I know they’ll love me. We have a fierceness that cannot be broken. It will never wither and die and we will pass that onto our children.
