Family Ties — Daniel Oconnell

Family, it is what drives us to, and away. Family is the bonds that make us feel complete and at times frighten us to run away. Nevertheless, our Family is always there watching out for each of us as we are all connected by the DNA strands of our ancestors. What we are is passed down to those that we create, and they carry on what we have begun and so on, but at certain times within our lives when we are alone and away from Family, we yearn for that what we miss.
For Carla, she is surrounded by all those that love her, and she has even begun her own family, yet she still feels alone. Alone amongst so many, she feels the emptiness of her heart as she looks out to the stars in the hopes that her family will once more be part of her life. Unbeknownst to Carla, that desire for her family may be far more than she may ever expect, and, in the end, it may cost her everything.
