The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof.

About This Quote

The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof. People are usually raised by their own parents or other family members. Children are generally separated from their parents when they are young and are brought up by other relatives.

If you were to ask any child the relationship between their own parents, most would say they have a very close relationship with them. However, some things are special about the relationships that some families have. The bond between your true family is not one of blood but respect and joy in each other's lives.

Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof, but it is these bonds of respect and love that make up the real family unit.
