Happy Vietnamese Family day
Family always holds a special place in one’s heart. Only in a family can people feel boundless love and safe. A happy home perhaps is a dream of every single person.
Families help us overcome geographical barriers and time zones and are the bond that connects everyone in the family. No matter how far we go, family members always offer us solid emotional support when we are tired and demotivated. Families act as a shelter, being a place to help us regain motivation and strive to become a better version of ourselves. Undoubtedly, family love is the most sacred and precious feeling.
Each person, each family will have different ways of expressing their feelings. However, it all takes root from love, care, concern, care and protection for each other.
Family bonding is manifested by loving and caring for children. In every family, fathers are often the most strict and quiet members. Dad is always like a superhero who protects his children when they stumble or go astray, showing them the right direction and giving them profound life lessons. Fathers are also often the person who will shape the child’s personality, being the first teachers of their children. Fathers are ordinary men, but each of them has a way to express their love for their children. In addition to the academic knowledge at schools, the instructions given by fathers play a vital role in children’s cognitive and intellectual development. Fathers may not be able to spend too much time with their children due to their work schedule; however, he is always by their children’s side, encouraging and motivating them. Fathers are willing to sacrifice for the family and give all the best for their children.
If the father has the same role as the teacher, then the mother is the one who tells us what love, care, and treatment are in daily life. Mothers can sacrifice their whole youth for their children, taking care of every meal and sleep, and dedicating themselves to their children’s development. Even though when the children grow up, their mothers’ arms are always made of tenderness. A mother is like a friend. No matter how far the children go, no matter where they are, whenever they look back, they will see their mother standing there, waiting and cheering for them. No matter how difficult life is, mothers are always a source of motivation for their children.
Family bonding is also fully expressed in the love between grandparents and children. In addition to the love, care, and expectations for their grandchildren, grandparents also teach them moral values, how to treat people and prepare them to enter the future life. Grandparents are like bridges between the past and present, who bring the quintessence of the previous generation to teach their children and grandchildren for future preservation and promotion. In every Vietnamese family, grandparents are like parents because they tend to spend more time than parents caring for and nurturing their grandchildren. For grandchildren, childhood is often associated with grandparents, with meaningful fairy tales that he often tells.
Family love is also the love between siblings. In every person’s life, apart from parents, the relationship between sisters and brothers is the closest and warmest affection, a bloodand-blood bond, and solid support for each other. Siblings are everyone’s first friends. There are stories we are not willing to tell our parents, but a brother, a sister, or a younger brother is always the one who gives us trust and shares everything. Although there are times in life when there are conflicts and quarrels, it all comes from caring and worrying about each other.
An indispensable part of family love is the love between husband and wife. Marriage is the thread that connects people who are not related by blood together and become family. Marriage is built on love and cares for each other.
