Family
"All of us, single or married, are eternally part of some family--someway, somewhere, somehow--and much of our joy in life comes as we correctly recognize and properly develop those family relationships. We come to this earth charged with a mission: to learn to love and serve one another. To best help us accomplish this, God has placed us in families, for he knows that is where we can best learn to overcome selfishness and pride and to sacrifice for others and to make happiness and helpfulness and humility and love the very essence of our character."
John H. Groberg, "The Power of Family Prayer," Ensign, May 1982, 50

That is good to know that we are all part of a bigger family. It's sad to see some families that aren't sealed and that don't have hope of ever being sealed. I like to think that being in the gospel and following the commandments seals us to Heavenly Father. I know the ordinance is just as important but sometimes those around us don't allow us that chance in this life. I'm glad Heavenly Father loves us enough to take care of all that.
A couple of my Young Women are in that situation and it makes me want to cry. It makes it harder for them to discover their identity when they don't even know what earthly familly they belong to let alone heavenly family.
