We all long for closeness. It's a basic human need. We want to belong to a group and believe that we are a special, important, and integral part of that group. The warm connections we create with other people make us feel good about ourselves, help pull us through hard times, and give meaning to our lives. These social support systems are like vitamins for our soul. When families are built to be strong, joyful, and caring, they become an anchor in a very stormy sea, a calm harbor where we feel safe and protected.
