Who's to say where the wind will take you
Who's to say what it is will break you
I don't know which way the wind will blow
Who's to know when the time has come around
Don't wanna see you cry
I know that this is not goodbye

[HowlWhiteWind]

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other

[HowlWhiteWind]

No!

FAMILY

The love of family and the admiration of friends is much more important than wealth and privilege.
Charles Kuralt


Family is not an important thing. It's everything.
Michael J. Fox

Insanity runs in my family. It practically gallops.
Cary Grant


To us, family means putting your arms around each other and being there.
Barbara Bush


The family is one of nature's masterpieces.
George Santayana

[HowlWhiteWind]

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


Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible - the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family.
Virginia Satir



The only rock I know that stays steady, the only institution I know that works, is the family.
Lee Iacocca

Dignity is not negotiable. Dignity is the honor of the family.
Vartan Gregorian

The family is the test of freedom; because the family is the only thing that the free man makes for himself and by himself.
Gilbert K. Chesterton

[HowlWhiteWind]

In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future.
Alex Haley

“A bolt of warmth, fierce with joy and pride and gratitude, flashed through me like sudden lightning. I don’t care about whose DNA has recombined with whose. When everything goes to hell, the people who stand by you without flinching—they are your family. And they were my heroes.”
― Jim Butcher

“There is no such thing as a "broken family." Family is family, and is not determined by marriage certificates, divorce papers, and adoption documents. Families are made in the heart. The only time family becomes null is when those ties in the heart are cut. If you cut those ties, those people are not your family. If you make those ties, those people are your family. And if you hate those ties, those people will still be your family because whatever you hate will always be with you.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“Let us make one point, that we meet each other with a smile, when it is difficult to smile. Smile at each other, make time for each other in your family.”
― Mother Teresa

“This is part of what a family is about, not just love. It's knowing that your family will be there watching out for you. Nothing else will give you that. Not money. Not fame. Not work.”
― Mitch Albom, Tuesdays With Morrie

[HowlWhiteWind]

“Sticking with your family is what makes it a family.”
― Mitch Albom

“There is no doubt that it is around the family and the home that all the greatest virtues, the most dominating virtues of human, are created, strengthened and maintained.”
― Winston Churchill

“I always hear people talk about 'dysfunctional families.' It annoys me, because it makes you think that somewhere there's this magical family where everyone gets along, and no one ever screams things they don't mean, and there's never a time when sharp objects should be hidden. Well, I'm sorry, but that family doesn't exist. And if you find some neighbors that seem to be the grinning model of 'function,' trust me - that's the family that will get arrested for smuggling arms in their SUV between soccer games.
The best you can really hope for is a family where everyone's problems, big and small, work together. Kind of like an orchestra where every instrument is out of tune, in exactly the same way, so you don't really notice.”
― Neal Shusterman


“Relatives share the same bloodline, but FAMILY shares your successes, pains, ambitions, celebrations, failures, values, love and so much more" - Gaye Miller 2012

“Our most basic instinct is not for survival but for family. Most of us would give our own life for the survival of a family member, yet we lead our daily life too often as if we take our family for granted.”
― Paul Pearsall

[HowlWhiteWind]

“The strength of a family, like the strength of an army, lies in its loyalty to each other.”
― Mario Puzo

The family is a haven in a heartless world. ~Attributed to Christopher Lasch


The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

aving a place to go - is a home. Having someone to love - is a family. Having both - is a blessing. ~Donna Hedges


Ohana means family, family means nobody gets left behind. Or forgotten.- Lilo, Lilo and Stitch.

LOVE AND MARRAIGE

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
Lao Tzu


Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.
Bruce Lee

Love knows not distance; it hath no continent; its eyes are for the stars.
Gilbert Parker

What is love? It is the morning and the evening star.
Sinclair Lewis


Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

“You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”
― Dr. Seuss

“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”
― Bob Marley

“When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth.”
― Jess C. Scott


“Love is patient. Love is kind. Love does not envy. Love does not boast. Love is not proud. Love is not rude. Love is not self-seeking. Love is not easily angered. Love keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil. Love rejoices with the truth. Love always protects. Love always trusts. Love always hopes. Love always perseveres. Love never fails.”
-1 Corinthians 13: 4-8

“Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.”
― Plato

[HowlWhiteWind]

“To find someone who will love you for no reason, and to shower that person with reasons, that is the ultimate happiness.”
-Robert Brault

“The difference between an ordinary marriage and an extraordinary marriage is in giving just a little ‘extra’ every day, as often as possible, for as long as we both shall live.”
-Fawn Weaver

“Marriage is a mosaic you build with your spouse. Millions of tiny moments that create your love story.”
-Jennifer Smith


“Love is a partnership of two unique people who bring out the very best in each other, and who know that even though they are wonderful as individuals, they are even better together.”
-Barbara Cage


“You meet thousands of people and none of them really touch you, and then you meet one person and your life is changed forever.”
- Jamie Randall

[HowlWhiteWind]

“When there is love in a marriage, there is harmony in the home; when there is harmony in the home, there is contentment in the community; when there is contentment in the community, there is prosperity in the nation; when there is prosperity in the nation, there is peace in the world.”
-Chinese Proverb

“Love like there’s no tomorrow, and if tomorrow comes, love again.”
-Max Lucado

“What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined for life to strengthen each other in all labor, to rest on each other in all sorrow, to minister to each other in all pain, to be one with each other in silent, unspeakable memories at the moment of the last parting.”
-George Eliot

“One of the most beautiful things in the world is a woman’s heart. It is fragile yet strong. Delicate yet resilient. When a woman gives you her heart, she gives you her most prized possession. If you love, nurture, cherish and protect it, she’ll give you the world.”
-Fawn Weaver

“The highest love a person can have for you is to wish you to evolve into the best person you can be.”
-David Viscott

[HowlWhiteWind]

“Love is like the wind. You can’t see it but you can feel it.”
-Nicholas Sparks

“Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.”
-Oscar Wilde

“Having a partner in this lifetime -to grow together, love completely, ride out every storm and overcome all of life’s challenges- is one of the most beautiful blessings of marriage.”
-Fawn Weaver


“Love is missing someone whenever you’re apart, but somehow feeling warm inside because you’re close in heart.”
-Kay Knudsen

"There is no words, no clever quote, no song that could be sung, no poem that could be recited that can perfectly describe what love really is. The sheer, utter wonders on what love feels like, can't neatly be summed up, It can bring about the truest of pains and the joy-est of happiness. Love in it's most purest form can captivate, and memorize the soul, it can enthrall and hold spell bound even the most complex of minds and draw someone's very breath but still it's true definition, remains simply unknown." - Myself (2014)
