of course i do loved my family so much, like i want to give the best of everything for them. ill do whatever i can just to give the life that they want, but sometimes we cannot do everything for them. there are limitations and restrictions for where and when do we give the said everything for our loved ones. and sometimes even if we do our very best for them, still they cannot appreciate our efforts for them. they dont even know how to thanked us, though we do not need that. its kinda frustrating but still we do not have to give up because thats our responsibilities to raise them and give the good life for them.

Love is not about plain saying.. Actions prove for everything we meant in our hearts ^_^ Love for family can come in many forms.. Some opt for financial love, whereby they sponsor all kind of things for parents, including shopping trips, overseas trips etc.. While some will opt for quality time spent together, as well as sharing of things and be a closely knitted family ^_^ hehe

I think all on the earth love his/her family, and i love too. It is our responsibility as the head of the family to fulfill their needs to the best possible extent, we neednot expect any thing in return, but i am sure they too do their duty.. Sorry for late response.. Thanks for sharing. Welcome always. Cheers. Prof

Sacrifices will always be there sometimes in a short or long run. I love my family very much too, and to be honest, we have been through a lot together. I am not scared of challenges and whatnot, but I hope and pray for their safety as well as happiness and well-being for this world and after they demise. Love them to bits, so whoever is nice to my family, I'll be extra nice too. That's just how I see it.. but I don't believe in being vengeful, though I am pretty much aware of things. I do take note of all that, and am very much aware but I don't need to do anything about it, because I believe in the good versus evil sort of thing, if any. Whatever it is, family is always the best and they are the ones whom you'll turn to whenever you are down, happy and whatnot. No one can replace family love ever. Good topic here.

I love my family, as does everyone at some level or another. Families are supposed to teach us about love and to provide support and protection. I do not feel my adult children make good choices sometimes and I do not feel their love and support much of the time. I also agree with you that too little appreciation is shown in families. After God, families are our best gifts, and we need to treasure them correctly. God teaches us so much throught our families and the meaning of love goes deep. Sometimes I do not like the attitudes and actions of family members, but love must remain a constant, and an act of responsibility and commitment. Love is more sacrificial than most of us realize and it is not always a "feel good" emotional thing. Look at the sacrifice our Lord and Savior made for us, so we would know true love, reconciliation and forgiveness. Love also takes lots of work in any relationship, but knowing God's love and His order for the way we should learn to love really helps with understanding and implementation in the tough times.

That is the very reason why I'm alive today and why I'm working so hard so that I can provide what they need and what they want.

I miss my family so much. I live with my partner and I still make time to visit my parents at home. When I was younger, back then, they were not that strict to me but when I graduated college already, I was already working, that was the time that they git strict. Ironic isn't it? At times I find i hard to deal with it and it opted me to move in with my partner. But several months before they understood my reason and now, everything is going fine. Communication is very often and I can say that I am enjoying yet learning continues with the way of life that I chose to have.

I love my family very much. As Will Smith's son says (according to him), "I love them all the way to the moon and back to the dirt." This is not to say we don't disagree. We're people and people do that.

My family is my priority. I love my family and it comes first in my life. The family is a very important part of everyday life. My Mother is my one consistent comfort and remains as such to this very day. It's fundamental to remember these feelings from our childhood so we can teach our kids the importance of family. When you're a child, the way others perceive you defines your whole world and it can be crushing to not feel liked by the crowd. I think as grown ups we sometimes forget this having benefited from a lifetime of developing a thick skin. It's so easy for us to tell our children to brush it off and ignore negative behavior aimed in their direction, but for kids that's simply impossible. Family is where our roots take hold and from there we grow. We are molded within a unit, which prepares us for what we will experience in the world and how we react to those experiences. Values are taught at an early age and are carried with us throughout our life. I love my family...

Of course i really love my family, i cannot express how much i loved them. We can do what is the best to our family even how hard it is. Don't expect anything to return back of what we did to our family, because this is our responsibility. Happy Lotting... Have a nice day!!!!

F.A.M.I.L.Y ! It's so cute :) I love them a lot.A harrowing thing happened today.One of my classmates lost her father and we all went to condole. I felt the sorrow,it was painful. Then I immediately called my mum and daddy. In brief, they are almost my everything and I love being with them.. :)

We are just the same. I love my family so much too and I really want to give my best for them. I'll do whatever I can to make them happy and to satisfy them. And yeah, even if we do the best for them, sometimes it's still not enough.

I am very thankful for my family. I love them enough to pray throughout the day for them, help them when I can, and teach the young ones the right ways. I am faithful and will do anything to protect each one of them. There is nothing they can do or say that will not allow them to always come home.

Yeah..i love my family and i would do practically anything possible for them. But there are limitations like you said, and we can only do what we can do.There are times they do ask a bit too much and i wonder what were they thinking ..when they asked? But we will still try our best to please them. Of course, it is almost impossible too please people though.We all would love to be spoiled and get whatever we want,but we must also consider the outcome.

its unconditional love. there are not buts or maybe or limitation. its an extraordinary blessing to be part of a loving family. im may not able to say it.. but definitely action speaks louder than words.how i care and treat them is a sign of showing that i love them.
