Kathryn Lasky Quote
To belong did not mean ownership. You were not someone’s property. The be syllable was about existence: to be yourself and to be in a special place that no one else could occupy within your family except you. The long part was about the heart, a place in the heart where a family met and lived together. They didn’t just put up with each other. They longed for each other. To belong was not a state of mind but a state of heart.
