There are many legitimate reasons that families can split apart but unless there are extreme conditions they should be glued together especially during crisis’s, even if it’s with used band-aids. Family is family for better or even worse and knowing that you have a distant cousin to cry on when things are rough makes them not so distant. We might not be able to share the same room under normal conditions but should be able to pick up a phone when things are a bit more difficult. If we could weave the fabric of such families together we would do more good for our society then any government program would. For it is not what pulls us apart but what brings us together that counts. G-D willing it will be to share some good times but if not at least let us find a way to heal each other in difficult times.
