Although I do not have a family, I have eyes, ears and imagination, and know, as most people know, that the importance of one's children is paramount.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I know the importance of family. I mean, it really completes me as a person. I want lots of children; I want so many children. I look at babies' pictures, and I am like... I love kids.
My children are the most important thing in my life.
Having children makes you see the world in a completely different way. When you're responsible for those little lives, you can't slough it off or forget about it until later.
I think if you talk to anybody who would like to have had children... I mean, you look at families all the time and you see there is something there that you don't have.
The most important thing in convoluted families, I learnt as I wrote, is that the child feels loved. I knew from a young age that I was a problem which required constant solving; but I never felt unloved. I was lucky.
I've realised how important having family is.
There are so many ebbs and flows in life, but when you're raising small children, your family means everything.
To me, family is everything. I want children to realize how important their families are and what a support system a family is.
Family is very important to me. People often ask me how I managed to stay grounded and sane, having started as a child star and growing up in the industry, and really, it's God. But it's also my family and God in my family.
We have four grown children and five grandchildren... so far! So, as you can imagine, family is extremely important to us.
