"Rarely do members of the same family grow up under the same roof"

This quote by Richard Bach talks to the idea that member of the family often do not live together for prolonged amount of times. This might be due to a variety of reasons, such as a member of the family moving away for work or school, or a member of the family passing away. It could also be due to a family member being incarcerated or having to move away due to a dispute. This quote talks to the concept that member of the family might not constantly be able to cohabit, and that this is a typical part of life. It also speaks to the concept that family members can still stay close even if they are not living under the very same roofing. This quote encourages us to appreciate the time we have with our family members, and to take advantage of it, even if we are not able to live together.
