Ode to Families

In our life, we meet many people and we also make many new friends. But one of our first friends are our parents and family. Our families have been with us ever since we came onto this Earth and we have gotten their undying support and infinite love ever since. Families are one of the greatest gifts anyone could get. There may be a few people who may say that their families don't spend enough time together. Due to this, people start feeling quite sad and feel lonely. But, we forget about the fact that our families try their best to spend sometime with us, but they are not able to do so because of their busy schedules. Although this fact may be hard to remember, we should at least try to appreciate what our families try to do for us. Our families never show how much they love us, for their love is infinite and it has no end.  So, please remember that no matter what happens, your family loves you, even if they don't show it. They'll never leave your side and will always stay ...
