1.   We were cramped in my studio apartment, but the thought of the family being together was reassuring.

2.   He felt pressure because of the sale, and his family being away so much.

3.   I enjoy my family being with me on the road.

4.   My family being from dirty-fingernailed German farm stock, we had none of this post-holiday frivolity.

5.   Try to go to work for a week or two, with the only contact you have with your family being a few minutes a day over the phone.

6.   You have these memories of the family being together.
