As this issue of the Journal of Family Nursing is being readied for publication, I am finding myself drawn to thinking about being in a practice profession that says something about our lives. As family nurses, we are passionate about families—in our practices, our writing, our teaching, and our discussions with equally passionate (and even our less converted) colleagues. Yet, at the heart of this passion lies the simple and wonderful reality that we also live in families; we are families. We suffer the local, heartfelt, and life-changing complexities that characterize our own particular families.
