Who says blood is the thickest of them all???

I don’t and I wonder who does! When you can’t be taught how to love (they say love, attachments come naturally), then how can you monitor who to love more and who not too. Doesn’t that part come naturally too? Don’t you believe in 'connections'? That extra something that hooks you on to that someone, without whom life becomes unthinkable? Don’t know how and why, but it sure does happen to us all. Maybe, in different forms though. And when that strikes, all the ‘within the family, caste, religion, gender, nationality’, and even ‘species’ goes flying right out of the window! All you are then united by is plain, pure and undiluted ‘love’. And who knows, maybe in that one person or people, you may find your soul mate, the love of your life, the friends you can die for. Try me, I have found the love(s) of my life in those wonderful beings who defy every definition of human ‘likeness’ whatsoever…..My four tiny, four legged, absolutely astounding, thoroughly spoilt, blessedly awesome, beautifully perfect Dachshund babies- Archie, Betty, Mischief and Jeannie. Maybe no other being will ever be able to make me cherish ‘motherhood’ (perhaps, the prettiest emotion ever) the way my four kids have!
It's been 11 years today! Touch wood! Just can’t thank God enough for my little angels!
