In a family, everyone helps.


A friend of mine who was raising three girls while her husband worked a job that required him to be on the road 5-6 months out of the year told me that, “family means that everybody helps.”

Her comment struck a nerve with me, not because I did not believe her words, and not because I did not follow them, but because it is a simple and true statement about the fundamental nature of family.
