Cheryl Crow on Family

Pop Rock singer Cheryl Crow has some powerful insights into family relationships. ?It always stuns me,? says Crow, ?how many people I deal with don?t like some members of their family. My life lesson is: You get born into a family of people and you may not be that much alike, but if you?re really lucky, you?ll like them and love them. I?m really lucky, ?cause I enjoy my family. There?s a lot you can learn from being a family member about empathy and forgiveness, and that?s what it?s really all about for me.? (Cheryl Crow on Family: From ?I?m Where I?m Supposed to Be? in the Parade magazine, November 10, 2002, p. 5. By Ben Fong-Torres.)
