And if you don´t commit? I asked. Your choice. But you miss what´s on the other side. What´s on the other side? Ah he smiled. A happiness you cannot find alone

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.
