My mother has always been the social glue holding the family together.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've got a pretty close bond with everyone in my family. I've got a brother and a sister whom I'm very close to, and my parents have always been the world's best parents.
I've always stayed really close with my mother and my father.
My mother was very family-oriented. And I do love being with my children.
My mom is the backbone not just of my family but of many families.
My mother was always supportive.
I grew up in a strong family; we had strong family bonds.
My mother was the center of the family.
I've an enormous respect for my mother who at the age of 39 raised three children, and I grew up with my grandmother in the household. And so it was a really strong household of women - my poor brother! It was great growing up with so many generations of women.
A lot of people think I grew up with just my brother and me, but mom was there even when she wasn't. We had a good household.
My father has been the real anchor of the family. He's the one who has always encouraged my mother, my brother and me.
