“It didn’t matter how big our house was; it mattered that there was love in it.” — Peter Buffett
Toast Of Never Ending Reckless Love
Family: the only six-letter word in which unconditional love, exasperation, and flat-out feuds can coexist. Sometimes, the only thing we can muster up is, "It's complicated." But for all the quarrels and misgivings we may have at times, we can't deny that there's nothing like family. They'll always be the once source of love we'll never have to earn; the place we run to for help and comfort; and the ever-steady constant in the inevitable tides of change. The love of our families sustains us and keeps us going when we need it most, and they'll celebrate all our victories. They are, quite literally, everything.
"When all the dust is settled and all the crowds are gone, the things that matter are faith, family, and friends."
Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh. — W. H. Auden
