Why Family Matters
Family is the cement that keeps the building blocks of life together.
We all need a warm home to feel more secure in this, at times, cold and wet world. In family, we find refuge and a warm shoulder. Moms, dads, sisters, brothers, grandparents all have their own unique perspective on life and they can help us understand life and ourselves.
While people who didn’t grow up in a warm and happy family will yearn for it for the rest of their lives, people that did grow up in a happy place will oftentimes take it for granted.
It is one of those paradoxes in life that just exist.
Here’s the list of my favorite family quotes that I put together for your convenience.
