Where we come from, who shapes us, and what belonging means.
Family is not always a simple story. It can be love, history, tradition, connection, distance, loss, and complicated relationships that continue to shape us long after a moment has passed.

This chapter explores the people, memories, relationships, and experiences connected to family. It includes the good, the difficult, and the things that deserve to be remembered and understood.
Because family is part of our history, but belonging is something we continue to define for ourselves.
