Being part of your own family was such a natural thing that you hardly ever gave it a second thought. Every day you awoke to the sound of your mother's or father's voice and before you went out you saw or spoke to each one of your sisters and brothers. Only once in a great while did you really think about what it meant to have a family, and that was when something in it changed--the birth of a new baby, moving to a different house, or when an older brother or sister left home. Soon, however, things seemed to return to the way they were before, and you could forget once more that you had a family at all.
