They\u2019re often unafraid to speak the truth, even if it stings, because their aim is to help you grow rather than judge you. Additionally, family can add a humorous touch to daily life, making everything a bit better.<\/p>\n<p>We believe that good relationships with your family is something precious and some people just can\u2019t help it but share their lovely memories.<\/p>\n<p>For illustrative purpose only<br \/>\nStory 1<br \/>\nMy husband and I called my sweet, 85-year-old grandma to tell her I got a new job.

My grandma is fierce.<\/p>\n<p>Story 2<br \/>\nMy wife\u2019s uncle (who owned the farm where we were getting married) stood up at the objection part. Immediately, his son yelled at him to sit down. To his credit, he did for about 12 seconds and then stood up again. He objected because there was a big storm coming up the driveway, about to smack the ceremony. My wife made it inside before getting drenched. Got married inside instead.<\/p>\n<p>Story 3<br \/>\nOne time in high school, my brother took my car and CRASHED it, got it fixed, and put it back in the driveway all within my 6-hour school day.

The preacher asks if anyone objects and my brother raises his hand very politely. My dad asks why, and my stepbrother replies, \u201cBecause I want you to promise to take me fishing whenever I want first.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Story 8<br \/>\n8 y.o.: I don\u2019t want to have bunk beds anymore.
