The Answer

Family becomes all you have when things get tough.  You find yourself hunting for the main figure in your life you could always depend on.  It's sometimes necessary to reach inside yourself for their memories, because they are no long alive.  This doesn't make you have the comfort of being with them and talking to them.  Their advice was what you needed and it's not there anymore.  You have to ask yourself what they would have done or said at a moment like this.  The answer will automatically pop into your mind.  So, even though they are gone, their memory is still alive inside your heart and mind.  That's the comfort we have that's always with us.
