According to Rodgers, the verses were mostly verbatim based on how Greenberg described Sister Sledge to them when first commissioning the work.[7] Rodgers/Edwards then simply walked immediately to the studio, rearranged their notes from the meeting into lyrics, and wrote a song melody underneath them.[7] The chorus (and therefore the title) makes reference to the fact that the group are the four sisters of a family.[7]

Maya is a former book publisher and a perfect mother whose life revolves around her three children, Aaliya, Ankush, and Anjali. Despite being divorced from Aman, Maya has ensured that they remain a happy family unit. However, things take an unexpected turn when Aman's girlfriend, Shreya Arora, a career-oriented fashion designer with a lot to learn about children, joins the family.
When Shreya and the children go to visit Maya at the hospital, the two women have a private conversation. Shreya admits that the children need their real mother, not her. Maya bequeaths guardianship of the children to Shreya and confesses a mistake she made that almost killed Anjali. She explains to Shreya that not every mother is perfect but that she needs to keep trying. Maya tells Aman she wants to return home for Diwali as the last chance to see her house before she dies. During the festival, the children hold a special event for her, replaying the memories they had together. When they take a family photograph, Maya asks Shreya to join, as she is now family. After that, Maya died, Aman married Sherya, and she became the children's stepmother.
Ten years later, it is Aaliya's wedding and Shreya gifts her a bracelet which belonged to Maya. Shreya speaks to the family photo and says that Maya was right in that she eventually became the mom type. During the marriage rounds, Shreya looks at the sky and recalls Maya saying she had the children's yesterday while Shreya has their tomorrow, and smiles.

Colin Pantall talks to Jonathan Ferrari from AMI about the Paris-based fashion brand's extraordinary collaboration with Magnum. He also speaks with some of the photographers and artists who made work for the group project, discussing the ideas behind their interpretation of the theme of family.
The idea that the family is not only one thing is at the heart of an ambitious traveling photographic exhibition that resulted from an inspired collaboration between Magnum Photos and AMI, the Parisian fashion brand founded in 2011 by its Creative Director, Alexandre Mattiussi.
Thirteen Magnum photographers were commissioned to make work for the project, alongside two guest artists, and when seen together in the book and traveling exhibition, they demonstrate the multiple ways in which family can be understood and represented.
Meanwhile, Alec Soth travels with his daughter Carmen, the process of making the work in the project embedding the bond between them. The role gender identity plays in family life is shown in the work of Alex Majoli. The images are accompanied by stories that detail some of the intricacies of gender identity in Albanian society. Diana, from the small mountain town of Tropojë is an example:
There are a few episodes from my childhood that contributed to the final animation. Opposite our building, on the first floor, there were family friends with three daughters. One day the parents had a fight and the mother set the apartment on fire. It scorched the building up to the seventh floor. It was a traumatic moment for me.
The reasons these portraits were made were the same as why photographs are made, to keep a record of what somebody looked like. What I decided was to play with the camera and make multiple exposures. So in the room with the Austrian royal family, I would take 15 pictures superimposed on each other, all made in-camera. The result was a kind of monster with 15 eyes and 15 mouths, but you could actually recognize the traits and the characteristics of the family.
Perhaps the most loving idea of family in the project comes from Bruce Gilden, a photographer who, together with his wife Sophie, found a sense of family and belonging in the black biker clubs of New York City.
Our understanding of what makes a family has undergone a revolution in the last few decades, from same-sex parenthood to surrogacy, donor conception, and IVF. But what has the impact been on children?
Susan Golombok is professor of family research and director of the Centre for Family Research at the University of Cambridge, and a professorial fellow at Newnham College, Cambridge. Her pioneering research on lesbian mother families, gay father families, single mothers by choice, and families created by assisted reproductive technologies has been instrumental to our understanding of both child development and social and ethical issues related to family life.

We were founded in 2013 by adopters who had experienced first-hand the lack of peer support available. Becoming a family through adoption can bring its own unique set of challenges, as your child joins your family with an identity and a history of their own. Sharing problems, insights, frustrations and laughs with other people who have similar experiences can be invaluable.
"I'm just trying to build a positive image," he said. "I just want to build that family atmosphere and share my life examples to try to instill in these kids so they can go on to be future leaders in our community."
"Being from a divorced household, I knew that a lot of kids battle through that," he said. "There are so many distractions in this world. Firsthand, I experienced that and what it can do to a family."
The real meaning of Christmas is bringing people together in the spirit of love, hope, and joy. It's something Colts mascot, Blue, does all year long. But at Christmastime, he brings family and friends together to give back in a big way.
A.J. Desmond & Sons Funeral Directors is family owned and operated, and has been since our founding in 1917. For over 100 years, the McInnes, Desmond, Vasu, Connell and Price families have personally served metro Detroit families and communities with the highest level of empathy, dignity, and care. A.J. Desmond & Sons' funeral directors and staff live here, work here and care about the people here. The Desmond Way is to always be compassionate and sensitive to families' needs, to offer complete assistance before, during and after the funeral, and to accept the responsibility entrusted to us with the highest level of integrity and respect. Our first priority is always the families we assist. We make our decisions based on what best serves these families and our communities as a whole. The best in the area, our directors are empowered to make the decisions that accomodate family wishes while providing the highest level of value. When you call us, you talk to us. Corporate-owned funeral homes work differently. Their first priority is to serve their stockholders, making decisions according to corporate mandates. These can be short term cost cutting decisions that decrease their overall level of service. Corporate red tape, distant management and demands to lower costs hinder responses to family needs. The last twenty-five years have seen a dramatic increase in the number of corporate owned funeral homes, as conglomerates have acquired locations all across the country. Often the original names are kept on the majority of these facilities, knowing local families may choose a funeral home based on name recognition and long-term community roots. But this is a façade. While the facility names remain the same, the business model has changed. The local roots have been cut. We know that we best serve ourselves by serving you well. As a local, family-owned funeral home, your satisfaction is the only way we can succeed. In turn, we share our success locally by supporting local businesses and participating in numerous local civic and charity organizations. The Desmond family and our entire team are committed to maintaining the integrity of A.J. Desmond & Sons Funeral Directors by remaining a 100% independent, family-owned business. Thus we pledge to deliver the highest level of quality service and value to every family we are privileged to serve. 2b1af7f3a8
