Family Bond Quotes

“Dear daughter, you are enough.
You’re beautiful. You’re intelligent. You’re important. You’re protected. You’re loved. You’re useful.
Fill yourself up with positive thoughts. Feed your soul with kindness. Surround your environment with people whose interest is to expand your vision.
I love you. But due to time, I may never say it enough.
Thus, my words represent the intense positive emotions I have for you.
There will be times when I am not physically with you, but in those times, I’ll be with you in spirit, love and thought. You’re my perfect gift. And you’ve arrived at the perfect time to serve a perfect purpose.
Know yourself. Never stop learning about yourself. Strengthen your mental state because negative people may try to attack it.
Pray and meditate should you meet obstacles.
Never settle for what makes you feel pain, regret, sadness, or disappointments.
You’re worth what God says you’re worth, and nothing less.”
― Mitta Xinindlu

“I knew that I was losing him, and yet we all had the courage to draw closer, to weave tighter, even all the way into the end.

Fred worked in the study, under the glow of yellow light, like an angel-we could see him in there, through the glass doors-while the rest of us sat or lay on the patio under the sky and the stars. Sometimes Grandfather would reach down, searching for my hand, find it, and squeeze it. The last bloodline of my mother, I would think, holding his hand-my last, strongest blood-connection to her-and perhaps he was thinking the same, at those times.

Father and Omar intent upon the game. Grandfather and I intent upon eternity.”

“Your father has a fondness for orchids." Could she know my father's affinity for orchids is in direct correlation with his affinity for my mother? "Much too finicky for me. I prefer azaleas. When I was a little girl, I used to drink the nectar from the flowers."
I brighten a little. "I did that, too." Mom had azalea plants all over our property. She taught me how to pull the blossom from the stem and slurp from the tip of the flower like her mother had shown her. I always thought it was something unique to us, to our family. But maybe it was more. A connection to Japan, an invisible tether. "Is there a variety you prefer? I quite enjoy the omurasaki."
I've caught her attention. "It is a lovely bloom," she says.”

“Brothers and sisters may bicker, but when the world strikes, they stand as one. The same goes for strangers becoming family.”
― Emmanuel Apetsi
