“Family is not an important thing, it’s everything.” !!Famous Quotes About Family

All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

— Leo Tolstoy

You certainly didn’t ask for them, and you can’t trade’em, but out of the billions of human beings on our planet, they’re the ones who know you best. They’re the ones who cherish you, and whom you should cherish in return – whether they’re your biological family or otherwise.

Even though its easy to forget at times, family is the most important thing in the world. This could mean your mother, your father, your siblings, your spouse, your grandparents, your aunts, your uncles, your cousins, your in-laws – but for some, its simply those with whom we share unconditional love.
