The Heart of Life

The family.  We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together.  ~Erma Bombeck

The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family.  ~Thomas Jefferson

The informality of family life is a blessed condition that allows us to become our best while looking our worst.  ~Marge Kennedy

I love my family, and thank God for them everyday. 

No matter where I go, I can never forget where I've been, or who helped along every step of the way.
