Family, in any shape or form, is our first organized system, providing love and a sense of security. They’re often unafraid to speak the truth, even if it stings, because their aim is to help you grow rather than judge you. Additionally, family can add a humorous touch to daily life, making everything a bit better.
We believe that good relationships with your family is something precious and some people just can’t help it but share their lovely memories.
Story 1
My husband and I called my sweet, 85-year-old grandma to tell her I got a new job. She congratulated us, talked for a bit, and then hung up. Later she called me to say I should open a secret bank account and never tell my husband about it. My grandma is fierce.
Story 2
My wife’s uncle (who owned the farm where we were getting married) stood up at the objection part. Immediately, his son yelled at him to sit down. To his credit, he did for about 12 seconds and then stood up again. He objected because there was a big storm coming up the driveway, about to smack the ceremony. My wife made it inside before getting drenched. Got married inside instead.
Story 3
One time in high school, my brother took my car and CRASHED it, got it fixed, and put it back in the driveway all within my 6-hour school day. He kept it a secret for 4 years!!! I think that’s the most sibling thing ever.
