I have these visions of myself being thirty, thirty-five, forty having a family.

My family really does come first. It always did and always will.

Both within the family and without, our sisters hold up our mirrors: our images of who we are and of who we can dare to be.

The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life.

It's very strange that most people don't care if their knowledge of their family history only goes back three generations.

I am tortured when I am away from my family, from my children. I am horribly guilt-ridden.

For me, nothing has ever taken precedence over being a mother and having a family and a home.

I grew up in a big family with a lot of kids around, and I definitely want to have children as well.

Dad kept us out of school, but school comes and goes. Family is forever.

You leave home to seek your fortune and, when you get it, you go home and share it with your family.
