In truth a family is what you make it. It is made strong, not by number of heads counted at the dinner table, but by the rituals you help family members create, by the memories you share, by the commitment of time, caring, and love you show to one another, and by the hopes for the future you have as individuals and as a unit.Marge Kennedy
About This Quote
It's true that a family is like a house: It's made up of the people who live there and the things they do. But a family is so much more than that. It's about the way those people relate to one another, and to those who don't belong. It's about what they do for each other, and how they really do it.
It's about their hopes and dreams as individuals and as a unit. Above all, it's about the things they have learned from being together over time, and the way those lessons have changed them for the better.
