Musing way week 12: best lesson learned
The best lesson I ever learned... I learned from the pair of children involved in one of my pretends.
They'd lost their father in the mystery I was solving and their mother had not been in their lives for years. I thought they were going to be without family.
I was wrong.
The woman that had been involved with their father – I saw her with them, saw how much she loved them both.
That's when I realized that it doesn't always take blood to be family. Another time I learned that blood doesn't always make family.
It takes love.
Father's Day is a strange concept, but... that was a good one.

I have a family. It's just... not quite what most people would think of.
It was a very good lesson.
I'm still going to find my parents. But I won't forget that that's not all it takes, either.
