This is part of what a family is about, not just love, but letting others know there’s someone who is watching out for them. It’s what I missed so much when my mother died–what I call your ‘spiritual security’–knowing that your family will be there watching out for you. Nothing else will give you that. Not money. Not fame. Mitch Albom
About This Quote

I have always been the type to take the word family as a whole, as well as its individual members. When I say family, I mean my mother. My father came along quite a few years after I was born and he is a person who took a backseat to my mother. However, my father is still very much part of my life.

He has been a big part of the reason why I have been able to make it through some difficult times in my life. My father loves his children and wants what’s best for them. He has always been there to support us and help us out when we need it most.

My father is a strong presence in our life that really keeps us from feeling lost or alone, especially when others are not there to provide us with the same sense of security and love that we would receive from our own family members.
