For many of my Friday posts, I like to pick a concept or an idea, instead of a tangible thing we can all identify. This week, I wanted to share quotes and thoughts on family.

“The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other’s life.” ~ Richard Bach

“When everything goes to hell, the people who stand by you without flinching — they are your family.” ~ Jim Butcher

“If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance.” ~ George Bernard Shaw

“Family: A social unit where the father is concerned with parking space, the children with outer space, and the mother with closet space.” – Evan Esar

Hug your family members, both family of choice and family of birth.

Happy Friday and blessings to you all.
