My Family

My family is God's gift for me, as I am to them. My mind is filled with happy thoughts of my childhood which I owe to my parents and siblings. Let me gift my brother's and sister's with this simple message and together we could give honor and gratitude to our parents once again.

Message:
Mom and Dad our hearts will always remember your unconditional love for each other and for all of us your children. I believed that was the best gift and was the most powerful discipline that both of you thought all of us to believe in our inner goodness and a kind acceptance of each others individual uniqueness as a person. You always thought us to love, to look, to share and to take care after each other and never to forget to extend love and respect to other people.

To maintain a joyful family requires much from both the parents and the children. Each member of the family has to become, in a special way, the servant of the others.
Pope John Paul II

Thank you, Lord, for the gift of family
