The Kindness of the Tribe

"The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life."
~ Richard Bach

I recently attended an awards ceremony for three women, including one I have known since high school.  Several tables at the event were filled with people this woman affectionately called her "tribe."  They ranged from her mother and the mother's friends to cousins, co-workers and friends from various stages of her life.  In accepting the award, this woman said that while her bank account might not be large, she is grateful for all the members of her tribe.  It was quite a sight -- all the people who showed up to share in her joy.
