Certain is it that there is no kind of affection so purely angelic as of a father to a daughter. In love to our wives there is desire; to our sons, ambition; but to our daughters there is something which there are no words to express.

'Families are about love overcoming emotional torture.'

'The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family.'

'I'm not beautiful, I'm pretty!' (Angrily at age 2 and a half. After getting into his sister's toy makeup case and being called beautiful...)

'Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.'
