About This Quote

Family means putting your arms around each other and being there. But remember, not every family will be the same. You have your own form of family and you have your own form of love. Some families stay together because they have to, for their kids.

And some stay together because they love each other. We don't have a traditional family today. We're all different and we're all individuals, but we're a family in that we have our own form of love.
