They can look at their family with pride, and know the family comes first. I really admire that sentiment. Almost everyone i know puts other things before family, including hobbies, work, and religion as an institution. Perhaps that is why they are so successful. (And why I enjoyed reading this story so much. the absolute love the siblings had for each other was wonderful. To me, this story was written in the Bradbury tradition. If you have a couple of minutes, check out Ray Bradbury discussing writing on youtube. He was so bubbly and positive.
I don't know very much about Bradbury. I will check it out-thanks for the info!
