Family and its importance

Philippines

Here in the Philippines we treasure our family so much. We never leave a family member in the streets and we try to find ways to make them stay. Some people though leave their family members in different places because they have ailments or disabilities. But going to main topic we have, my family is an example of a great family who treasures every member they have. Actually by saying family i mean the entire mothers and fathers side. None of our family members go to nursing homes, home for the aged and even worst the streets. My mom and my aunts are good examples of this because my late uncle died because of cancer. They never lost hope that my uncle can still recover and they took care of him till the end. This is how important my family values the word "relationship" and that's why i love my family so much.

There is something similar in India. Most of the families are combined and living with the all members as long as possible. Its like 5 fingers of our hand, if they are together, will become stronger and left alone may be destroyed.

Same also in our country Indonesia, family is everything, hard or happy to stay with family together, I think Indonesia and Philippines almost same culture habits, a very close "relationship", I am agree.
