Family is a basic unit in the society. In our society, it is the most important treasure in our life.They are the reasons why we worked hard all day.Parents have the strong influence towards our decisions.Sometimes we tend to do things against our will just to please our family.But up to where can you sacrifice for your family?How about your personal needs?Kindly share your experiences about your conflicts in the family, sacrifices you've done in the family and the importance of your personal happiness.

I long for a complete family. I lost my parents at a very young age. All I have now are my sisters. Though I have relatives near me but I don't feel like them and we are not close to each other. What I have now are my sisters and nieces. I always try to provide their needs and try to help them when they are need. I have sacrificed a lot for my sisters that I even forget myself. That is how I love them so much!

I know that I would sacrifice a lot for my family, because they have done a lot for me in the past. If they asked me for anything, then I would do it if there was any way that I would be able to do so. It would break my heart if anything were to happen to my family, so if there is anything that I could do about preventing something bad happening to them then I would certainly try my hardest. Family are there for you whenever you need them, and I think that it is very important that you are there for them if you can.
