All children need is total acceptance, Love, security in knowing no matter what happens they are a family, they are not alone), to feel blessed to know that if they push the limits they still are an important part of the team.... Growing up my "friends" were my siblings, today we are closer than ever. My mother instilled in us that we are like a hand. Open your hand and the palm is my mom, splay your fingers and wiggle them that is us leading our lives as best we see fit... Now there are problems, mine, theirs, ours... close you fingers tightly that is the FAMILY united, strong, together. With God by our side we are INVINCIBLE. we are FAMILY! Yes, granted at times we get on each others nerves but, after all is said and done Love for each other is our essence, our core. We have instilled this motto in OUR kids, my sister, the first of us to have grandkids, I see her daughter, my niece instilling those same valuse on my great niece and nephew (twins) Now that is an awesome legacy my mother will leave behind: To love each other, protect each other,.. This beautiful couple have their priorities straight. They understand and accept the fact that Being a Movie Star is a CHOSEN profession, a JOB. But, FAMILY is what gives your life meaning, spice. The misconception that JA is or was under is that her career WAS her life. We all make choices in this life, some turn out to be very good choices and we thank God above and our lucky stars whereas, SOME of our choices teach us a life lesson. It may devestate our IDEALS of WHO we are, but, if we are lucky we can turn that a learning experience and go on with our lives.
