The Family You Lost Before You Had This Name by A.J. Van Belle
I love this so much 💜💜
Loved this piece so much!
I love this, it captured found family so well. It also put some of the interactions I've had with some of my family into perspective, I hadn't assigned anything special to the check ins I get until I read this.
A beautiful piece ❤️
