Michael J. Fox, the Canadian-American actor, author, and advocate said, “Family is not an important thing; it’s everything”. Family is the first learning place of an individual because as soon as we step in this world, the first individuals we come across are our family members. So, starting from childhood, we learn everything from them, we see our family members walking and we start to try walking, we hear and see them speaking and we try to copy them. We also learn how to love, how to behave, how to come along in life, all from our family; because family is everything from cradle to the grave. Most times and much later when we are grown up, friends come into our lives and most of us forget that family has been there for us since day one. We get sucked into our religious beliefs; get stuck with our new friends and our social status, then throw away our families away once we have some differences or disagreements with them. This video highlights how important the family is, it shows us that no matter what, our family will always be there for us. And even if we abandon them, they will most times not abandon us. Enjoy.
