“The reality is that there are no perfect families. Every
family has moments of awkwardness. Like when your parents ask you to take a
‘selfie’ of them, or when your great-aunt insists that you are still single
because you are just too picky, or when your opinionated brother-in-law thinks
his political view is the gospel view, or when your dad arranges a family
portrait with everyone dressed like characters in his favorite movie. And you
get the Chewbacca costume. Families are like that. We may share the same gene
pool, but we are not the same. We have unique spirits. We are influenced in
different ways by our experiences. And each of us ends up different as a
result. Rather than attempting to force everyone into a mold of our own making,
we can choose to celebrate these differences and appreciate them for adding
richness and constant surprises to our lives.” - President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
