Nobody has ever before asked the nuclear family to live all by itself in a box the way we do. With no relatives, no support, we've put it in an impossible situation. ~Margaret Mead
Families are like fudge - mostly sweet with a few nuts. ~Author Unknown
If you don't believe in ghosts, you've never been to a family reunion. ~Ashleigh Brilliant
We all grow up with the weight of history on us. Our ancestors dwell in the attics of our brains as they do in the spiraling chains of knowledge hidden in every cell of our bodies. ~Shirley Abbott
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
When you look at your life, the greatest happinesses are family happinesses. ~Joyce Brothers
You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them. ~Desmond Tutu
Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one. ~Jane Howard
I couldn't pick just one, tell me which one you like best.

December 15, 2008 at 5:30 PMLogann, I have another memory from this weekend that is so great. I loved your answer this weekend to the Dream Job question.(To do marketing for Mattel/Barbie) And when Boo was qualifying her answer that she wanted to work with Marth Stewart or Rachel Ray, like she was embarrased, you said, "So, I said Barbie." You are so funny without even trying! I love you!- Tori said...
