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.
When you look at your life, the greatest happiness's are family happiness's.
A social unit where the father is concerned with parking space, the children with outer space, and the mother with closet space.
When our relatives are at home, we have to think of all their good points or it would be impossible to endure them.

Family life is full of major and minor crises -- the ups and downs of health, success and failure in career, marriage, and divorce -- and all kinds of characters. It is tied to places and events and histories. With all of these felt details, life etches itself into memory and personality. It's difficult to imagine anything more nourishing to the soul.
To us, family means putting your arms around each other and being there.
