There is an interconnectedness among members that bonds the family, much like mountain climbers who rope themselves together when climbing a mountain, so that if someone should slip or need support, he's held up by the others until he regains his footing.

PHIL McGRAW, Family First

You don't choose your family.  They are God's gift to you, as you are to them. 

Desmond Tutu

Love makes a family.

GIGI KAESER, Love Makes a Family

The family.  We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. 

Erma Bombeck

It's okay not to be okay all the time.

Mikayla Lowes

And thank you for a house full of people I love.  Amen. 

Terri Guillemets

"Shit happens!"
