Was speaking to my Nigerian friend the other day. Our family considers he and his fiancée full members of our clan. Real family.
Due to mistreatment by his biological father and brother and kindness bestowed upon him by his distinctly-non-African-non related family he had this to say.
“Friends becoming family and family becoming friends and strangers”.
I thought it was profound. I’ll never forget those words nor why he spoke them.
None of the 4 Jin’s are related by blood. We chose our family. You can too.
