Cherish every moment with those you love at every stage of your journey.

Love
There’s no vocabulary for love within a family; love that’s lived in but not looked at; love within the light of which all else is seen; the love within which all other love finds speech. This love is silent.
~ T. S. Eliot

~ Thích Nhât Hanh
Blood
Family not only need to consist of merely those whom we share blood, but also for those whom we’d give blood.
