About This Quote

You are at the end of our fishing line. If you ever need anything, you just give a little tug and we will reel you back in. This is a nice way to say that your family is always there to help you whenever you need them. We are willing to do everything within our power to help you reach your goals. And if for any reason we can't, like if you are really lost or hurt or sick, we will try our best to return you to where you came from.
