My mother's love has always been a sustaining force for our family and one of my greatest joys is seeing her integrity her compassion her intelligence reflected in my daughters.

The first-born in every family is always dreaming for an imaginary older brother or sister who will look out for them.

Every child should have a caring adult in their lives. And that's not always a biological parent or family member. It may be a friend or neighbor. Often times it is a teacher.

When I remember my family I always remember their backs. They were always indignantly leaving places.

I have a family to support. And I'm not always going to be doing exactly what I want to do.

I've always put my family first and that's just the way it is.

I am the baby in the family and I always will be. I am actually very happy to have that position. But I still get teased. I don't mind that.

I've always had great faith in the Man Upstairs.

I've always had great faith in people.

I will always try to share my faith with any person who is willing to listen. When I feel a wall go up we can talk about something else... and I will pray for you.
