"We Are A Happy Family"


That is one of Kirby's favorite songs. He generally doesn't like me to sing, but he has never yet told me to stop singing that one. I sing it often and I think it gives him security because it is cheerful and familiar. The world may want you to believe that happiness comes from being "free" and "independent" with "no strings attached." But I find happiness in the security of family ties. There is deep abiding joy in healthy family life. Nothing can compare with a happy feeling of belonging and being loved and knowing that that love is unconditional.
