Family.
The love of a family is life's greatest blessing.
The Center.
"Family is at the center of life’s meaning- Individuals linked together by a golden chain of love. Family celebrates triumphs and shares adversities across generations and across miles. Like a never ending hug, family encircles each member with steadfast devotion and enduring love. Family is belonging to and believing in each other." - Unknown
Gratitude.
“Having a place to go is a home. Having someone to love is a family. Having both is a blessing.” ~ Donna Hedges
Conviction.
This was inspired by one of my classes called Art and Propaganda in which we discussed the power of art and the messages it can portray.
These pictures are to symbolize many of those around the world who are caught up in war. When we get down to the simple things, we all have one thing in common. That is our families. Truly when everything else is taken away family is the root cause for the majority who go to war. They may be fighting for their families freedom and protection from the enemy, or even for protection from their own neighbors. What a strong force our families are. They inspire conviction and bravery, and it is for them that we would sacrifice anything- even our own lives.

Sacrifice.
"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 Pearshall
Loyalty.
"So much of what is best in us is bound up in our love for family, that it remains the measure of our stability because it measures our sense of loyalty. All other pacts of love or fear derive from it and are modeled upon it." ~Haniel Long
