You could find it through your friends, or the people that are... dear to you. It’s the warmth, the comfort, and the compassion they had given you that gave you shelter... that made you find some pieces of yourself. And when you lose them, it’s like you lose half of yourself, or you just become indifferent. That’s the effect of a family." Yvette was so mindblown that she could barely talk.

It just means I’m choosing to prioritize something else. Family.

“I get it. And I’m not jealous. The bonds of friendships can be forged so deep that they become your family. Gillian is your family if nothing else.

She knows how important friendships can be and for the longest time, it was just Papa Armand and Gillian I had in my life. Until she came along and rocked my world.

We eat out as a family. My friends already has their own lives to take care of and they just send a congratulatory messages and gifts. I missed the old us and our bonding before. "That's a deep sigh." "I just miss my friends mom". Mom pat my shoulder. "That's life. It doesn't stay the same".

As I stood in the space that had been dedicated, marked, and furnished as the living room in Adrian and I's new house, with a happy thrill running through my body as I watched my family and friends converged in a place to celebrate both myself and my husband moving into a new home, I once again realized, with a deep rooted conviction in my heart, that having riches and affluence was great and all, but having family and friends that I could call my own was much more of an achievement. I also realized, as I sat on one of the brand new couches on the living room and watched them all interact with one another, that when one had a family and also friends, he or she would thereby have people to ca

Greater than reforming the system. Being her mother was my most important role. And I’d never forget that. No matter what else happened. No matter where destiny led us. Family came first. Always. Forever. That was my truth. My anchor. My purpose. Everything else was just details. Important details. Meaningful details. But still just details compared to this. Compared to love. To family.

"I do not believe that. I believe family is for life. As for my friends, I would have forgiven them if they had apologized to my wife. You cannot expect me to be grateful to them, to meet them again, to talk to them, when I know that they hold so much hostility toward my wife. At the end of the day, I have to come back home and face my wife and face my children. I do not want my children to see their parents fight over my friends." I tried to explain to my mother that marriage is not just two people living together or walking down the aisle and saying I accept you. It is more than that. It is a responsibility.

I guess in a way he did own the school. My father's biggest lesson in life was that family is the most important thing to protect in this world.
