It's nice. To have it both ways.

I’m flying. To the state of Washington. To be with my son Jack. When he dies. In a hospice. Actually, Jack and I aren’t blood-related. He’s my step son. But maybe I’m closer to Jack. Than he was to his biological father. Maybe because  we are connected in spirit. Blood is blood. Spirit is spirit. If one must choose between the two, give me the spirit connection. Anyway, it’s going to be sort of a family reunion. Jack’s sister, Kiki, will be there. So will cousin Carol. They are not only blood relatives. But spiritual kin, too.  Yes, sometimes it’s nice. To have it both ways. --Jim Broede
