Example C: Some heroic historical figure.
You can provide better than I can someone to fill this slot. Surely some person at some point in history walked into their destiny not because of who they were but because of whom they knew. Please write back with your own examples. (If I find the contents of your contribution to be both note-worthy and interesting, I will consider printing it in next month’s edition of Flaherty Fanzine.)
Let me clarify that family can be more than blood relations. It’s whomever you choose to live your life with. How blessed am I to have an easy choice before me. My dear father and mother, brother and sisters are exactly whom I want to live my life with. For I know that with them, my destiny will be great indeed. I’m not ashamed to have a strong bond with my family even at an age that so often calls for branching out on one’s own. I’d like to branch out with my own. In finding my family, I’ve found my destiny. All that’s left is to live life and life to the full. Thank you, Lord, for making my destiny quest so straightforward. You know me well.

This family photo from a cousin wedding in 2012 reveals 2 things about us:
1. None of the children has a significant other.
2. We are filled with (from top left and then around the circle) wonder, contentment, tenacity, love, joy and strength despite #1.
