We have three kinds of family - those we are born to, those born to us, and those whom we let into our hearts
- Simi Parthenopaeus
I love Simi. She's one of my favourite characters because of the fact that she is , what I believe, the heart of this series. She has her moments, whether they be serious or comic relief. And she's quite wise despite her cute and spoiled child attitude (wisdom does come with age, and Simi has 13,000 years under her belt).
It's true that family does not have to be biological. Family is those you are closest to at heart. People who piss each other off at the best of times but love each other at the worst. Blood may be thicker than water, as the saying goes, but it doesn't always mean that the hearts are tied together with that kind of bond.
Remember that Ash, Simi and Alexion are a family, and none of them are related by blood. And the Peltiers are a classic DH example of pissing each other off at the best of times and loving each other at the worst of times. And then....need I mention the star couples of each book?
I can say that this hits home. I'm not exactly close with my biological family, but I do know that I love them no matter what. My mother gave me life, my father raised me. I'm never going to be able to pay them back. And I hope that my children feel the same way, when I get around to that I mean. But I can say that I also have a best friend that is more like a sister to me, and we don't have the same genetics. I consider her family as well.
Family is important. Even Dark-Hunters, no matter how alone they may be or vow to be, all know that deep down inside. They just find out in their own special way.
And on a side note, to all my family out there (as well as my readers, online family and work family): I may not say it a lot, but I do mean it.
I LOVE YOU!!!
