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

CHARITY

OVERCOMING
Courage. Kindness. Friendship. Character. These are the qualities that define us as human beings, and propel us, on occasion, to greatness. #<Author:0x00007f141630da78>

GRATITUDE
Kites rise highest against the wind, not with it. #<Author:0x00007f1416345428>
