&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;“Blood is thicker than water”, when used in the context of family over friends, is in fact a wildly incorrect bastardisation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The true, &lt;em&gt;full&lt;/em&gt; quote is &lt;span class="st"&gt;“&lt;em&gt;The blood of the covenant is thicker than&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;the water of the womb&lt;/em&gt;,”&lt;/span&gt; and refers to relationships forged &lt;em&gt;by choice&lt;/em&gt; holding deeper meaning than those of mere biology.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Is that a girl or a boy? And you smile because today maybe you might just pass. But then you see their eyes register no facial hair, no knot in your throat, no bulge in your pants. They say it again, louder, tauntingly. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is that a girl or a boy.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;This time they know the answer and they just want to see you squirm. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And you do. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;

&lt;p class="p1"&gt;When I dream of my mother, she is hiding in the farthest corners of dimly lit rooms, bewildered and pale-faced and all bold, brown eyes. This is not unlike the real image she inhabits, sitting in her walker or on a paisley-cushioned bench at the end of the hall as she tries to piece together the portions of my face, my hair, my body into something that falls just short of familiar or safe. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="p1"&gt;My mother looks small sitting there, every day smaller than I have ever seen her. Frail, and barely there. The clothes that used to fit her snugly hang from her shoulders, sleeves like a tent meant to house the loose, wrinkled skin that hangs from her frame. She is my mother, of course, made up of the same cells that webbed into the bits and pieces of her that used to swab my dirty face with saliva and rub my back when I was sick. Conversely, she is not my mother. She is a ghost. And I am her daughter, and I am not her daughter. I am a stranger most every day she sees me.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="p1"&gt;Each time I see her, there is less to see. When people ask how she is doing, this is what I say. She is disappearing, and one day I am afraid she might fall through the space between the bench cushions. One day, maybe she will. One day, there will be nothing left. I know this, and yet my visits become less regular, less dependable. To see her is to see the formidable truth that soon she will no longer be there. And I am not that brave.&lt;/p&gt;

Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintery light. But you knew there would always be the spring, as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person died for no reason.””&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast (via &lt;a href="http://ophidiophobic.tumblr.com/" class="tumblr_blog" target="_blank"&gt;ophidiophobic&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://ravenreblogs.tumblr.com/post/46300091131</link><guid>http://ravenreblogs.tumblr.com/post/46300091131</guid><pubDate>Mon, 25 Mar 2013 21:19:06 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>i cant find my other books?!</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/447ef8e531022f99bcc321c8d40233f8/tumblr_mk8tq2rv161qcboa7o1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;i cant find my other books?!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://ravenreblogs.tumblr.com/post/46298890296</link><guid>http://ravenreblogs.tumblr.com/post/46298890296</guid><pubDate>Mon, 25 Mar 2013 21:06:01 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>i will wait.</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/ff9b2a9b5db6d29a29502a5f1d5a15f5/tumblr_mk2a33zhhk1qcboa7o1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;i will wait.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://ravenreblogs.tumblr.com/post/45986238312</link><guid>http://ravenreblogs.tumblr.com/post/45986238312</guid><pubDate>Fri, 22 Mar 2013 08:16:15 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/d86b86e82b52cb53a22895afe656e990/tumblr_mk0xolJehT1s0rkhso1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://ravenreblogs.tumblr.com/post/45926829393</link><guid>http://ravenreblogs.tumblr.com/post/45926829393</guid><pubDate>Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:55:48 -0400</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
