SEC17 WK:#6: My Family, My Pride!
Introduction |
|---|
A family is a group of people related by blood or by marriage. Family can come in many forms which could include parents, siblings, uncle, aunts and all other extended family.
Family is the smallest unit in the social circle of life and can provide us with all the love, support and companionship we could ever dream of. They are always there for us both in good and bad times.
Before I go further, let me use this opportunity to invite @wakeupkitty.pal, @lovelystar and @bossj23
What makes my family unique |
|---|
I’m just here thinking and asking myself, what really makes my family unique. The only thing that comes to mind is that we’re always “happy”. There is no time we don’t tease ourselves. I remember a time my sister wanted to introduce her fiancé to us. He couldn’t help but notice the joy among us. We made him feel so comfortable.
We teased ourselves a lot. There are something’s that others might take pretty harsh but we laugh over it or make a joke of it. I don’t think any of us have ever had any single reason to be depressed. The bond between us is unbreakable.
This period in Nigeria, were things have been so difficult, my family had bailed me out over and over again. Recently, that I had to go to the hospital to do some checkup, my family was there for me financially every step of the way.
We do have our quarrels once in a while but we try as much as possible to sort out ourselves that moment in order for it not to linger till the next day. The next day, when we see each other, we greet and talk as if nothing ever happened. We hold no sentiments against each other. The love is real.
specific qualities or experiences that make you proud of your family. |

Despite the distance between us as a result of life hustle, that togetherness is always there. We check up on each other to know how things are going in each life. We had to create a family WhatsApp group.
May 12 was our big sister’s birthday and her 14th marriage anniversary. We decided to surprise her but not on her birthday day because we know that day her husband will take her to a hotel free from kids and they don’t come back till the next day. So, we chose to push the surprise till 14th of may, when she was know longer expecting anything.
It was a big surprise for her. We bought her cakes, chocolate, different type of rice alongside with soup, biscuits, purse and perfume. She wasn’t expecting it because is really been a long time we bought gifts for her.
Another unique thing about our family is that we always we carry each other along. No one is intimidated by each other. The love is genuine. This period that my work posted me very far from my house, my big sister and her family has been there for me with accommodation and even providing food despite her large family. I go home during off days. Nobody is jealous of each other and we all want the growth for one another.
Why I’m proud about my family. |
|---|
I’m proud of my family any day anytime because of the bond we share amongst ourselves. We may not have all the riches in the world, but the richness of our relationships and the warmth of our togetherness make us enviable in our own right.
I’m so grateful and proud of the family I belong to. We have crossed through heavy storms together as a family during the period we lost our mom to the cold hand of death but we came out victorious and grew stronger.
So, no matter where I am in this world, I can never miss our “get together” we always hold December because that is the opportunity I get to return to the Wolfpack. They give me that sense of belonging and acceptance, which I don’t find outside. I always have this comfort in being myself without fear of judgment or pretense when I’m my family.
If you are to gift them, what will it be? |

Just recently, @goodybest made a post were she said her husband did a wedding album for her and she felt so happy about it. In my own case, I think that’s the best gift I can give my family. A beautiful picture album to remind us of some treasured moments we had in our lives growing up. I'd capture moments of laughter, love, and shared experiences that define us as a family.
Conclusion |

In conclusion, family is the only people that got our back and would never watch to see you go through hard times alone. My family is one in a million and I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world.
A picture album or better scrapbook is a super gift. I made many at times about celebrations, a trip or a year. Here schools for toddlers or till 5 year old do it. Photo's, drawings, expressions are written down. Always good to remember or for a good laugh.
We have a family group too (not whatsapp) called: halleve zole (freely translated: idiots).
Your family looks happy, funny, good to be around with. I can feel it over here. You all are happy to have each other.
🍀❤️
Scrapbook was actually what I had in mind but i couldn’t remember the name because it isn’t too popular around here… that’s why I called photo album…lol
I’m here smiling at the family group names.. I am just imagining how fun it will be, when you guys start cracking jokes, teasing each other about old times…😊
This is wonderful to know that you really love your family and they also enjoy your present and moment with them. Though sometimes there's always uma misunderstanding, you peop6an habit to settle everything the same day so that no one will keep malice or being jealous to each. I love this quality because it's really help everyone to be considerate, carrying everyone along, organizing a get-together to unite everyone in the family and to best the best moment with one another every December. As for the gift, a family albums will look good to remind them how unity the family is also to try and much as possible to keep the love, the care, the understanding and the affection towards everyone going.
I wish you the best in the contest
We really don’t have a choice than to settle our differences. I am also praying that people we end up starting our family with also have such culture … because malice is one thing that kind destroy family
You're right, there's no need of keeping Malice because it's can cause separation in a family but a family who learn to forgive ans settle their difference will likely to be stronger and United, that's what makes a happy family.
Good luck to you.
Your family is so beautiful, just like mine! Our bond is unbreakable, and we always look out for one another. Family comes first because they are the ones who will stand by us, no matter what! Your siblings are absolutely gorgeous 🥰, and as you said, don't trade them for anything. Also, making a family album would be an amazing gift for them. All the best!
Thanks ma’am for your great input in this post .. is nice having you around..
It is amazing how love flow in your family. You all look happy and gorgeous. My family is just same as yours because we believe in united we stand, divided we fall. Having a big surprise for your sis would sweep her iff her feet. Carrying each other along in a family brings growth and promotes unity. Everyone grows together and no one is envy if another. Your gift to them won't be a bad idea. It will remind of life spent together. Success to you!
My big sister really appreciated it… she was never expecting it at all. If na oyibo country we Dey, we for throw balloons everywhere!!😊😊
Upvoted. Thank You for sending some of your rewards to @null. It will make Steem stronger.
Thank you for participating in the Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 17 in the Steem kids and parents Community.
Family is our strength. We find real happiness in our family but to earn money we have to work at different places. In this fast paced life, we get some moments of relaxation only in the family.
Whatsapp is a very good medium to stay connected with family. You planned such a surprise birthday for your elder sister. She must have surely liked it a lot. This is what family is all about - giving happiness to each other.
