The moment we are born, our name gets associated with a family. How we are raised, our education, values all come from family. The first word which we speak is not taught in a school but at home, the first step which we take is at home. There are elders, siblings, parents all together make a family. Togetherness and happiness of a family is more important than anything in life. We have joint families and nuclear families. We are now more bound to live in our homes due to covid.

Avoiding going out. Taking precautions will not only save us but our family too. We have seen that everyone lost their near and dear ones due to covid. But helping each other as a global family saved us all. The country which need help is being helped by other countries. So by helping, together standing with each other, in sorrow and lending shoulder make us all stronger than ever. It shows how important it was to stand by each other.

The humanity is what saved each one of us. The good in us saved us all. Be happy and grateful that we are alive. Each day we should celebrate life. We meet so many people in our lives. We learn from them, get inspired by them, people may come and go, but family is where we always return to. Where our roots are. In the words of Mother Terresa ‘If you want to change the world, go home and love your family’.

The family which we get, is by chance, but the people who stood by us in all thick and thin are also family which we choose for ourselves. Never loose those people. The people who make us successful, the people who trust us, the people who help us to grow, the people who give us wings to fly and ready to save us when we fall. All those are also family.

Value your family and be there whenever it’s needed. To make a family, a happy family, each family members efforts are required. To get strength and happiness one must totally be dedicated towards family. Hope, that we all as global family get rid of this pandemic soon and live a normal life as we were living earlier, before covid outbreak.
