About This Quote

Families are like puzzles. They fit together in a certain way, and if one piece is missing, it throws everything off. This quote makes the point that family members are not always there for you, but that you are still here for them. It’s important to remember that even though you are no longer physically present, your presence is still felt.

The quote goes on to say that you can’t help but feel love for your family members even though they may not always express it the same way back to you. This means that you have to have a level of compassion for others even when it may be hard to do so. You have to show people how much they matter even when they might not show it back to you.
