It is quite self-explanatory. You can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your family. No one can choose his/her parents or siblings. If you have a friend who betrays you, you can stop contacting him/her. You can put miles between you, removing him/her in your heart and your mind. However, you cannot live without carrying your family with you in your heart. A family will always be with you whenever you are down, sick, deserted by your love one or progress in life and elevate to new heights. These are the individuals that have been by your side since day one, and sometimes know you better than you know yourself.A family member doesn’t necessarily have to be a blood relative.It could simply be someone such as an adoptive parent or sibling. In many instances, immediate family members tend to have the greatest impact due to life long bonds that originated from birth. Your distant friends will even call you when you become a successful person. Friends are there when they need you.

Good evening Sir [이름]!

Happy hump day. ^^
It was a perfect composition. ^^

We should love our family whole-heartedly especially our parents.

Family is the most important thing in the world.

Thanks for making me smile today.
