Richard Bach in his book Illusions: Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah: “The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof.”

I first read those words many years ago. They were a comfort and a revelation then, and they still resonate today, when I have very much chosen my own family.
