...I decided I'd changed my mind about home. Home was not Pensacola San Diego Guam or any of the other places we might have lived. In fact home wasn't any particular place at all. Home was my family. Even if they didn't get my jokes sometimes.

About This Quote

There is something special about the family. There is something that makes them so different from all the other families in the world. A family is a special thing, they are there to support each other, they are there for each other when things are going right and when things are going wrong. Families are there to help each other find happiness in life.

They are there for you through it all, whether that is good or bad. Maybe that's why people say that home isn't a place at all, it's a feeling.
