The 15th<\/sup> of May is International Day of Families.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes, if one comes from a big household, it is easy to think that families can be a bit of a pain and actually lose sight of how incredibly lucky we are to have them. Many people are very sad because they either don\u2019t have family or they have moved far away and they never get to see them.<\/p>\n

If you have not spoken to a\u00a0 family member whom you love dearly for a while\u2026\u00a0 why not pick up your cell phone and send them a WhatsApp or sms to tell them that you are thinking of them (or even better \u2013 call them) or write a letter. You could even make plans to go and visit them.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t take people for granted. You never know when something might happen and you\u2019ll never see them again.<\/p>\n

Talking about families, the 14th of May is Mother\u2019s Day. \u00a0Yup \u2013 that\u2019s this Sunday. Still time to do something if you have forgotten about it.<\/p>\n

Our Mothers really are special people. They do loads of stuff that we just expect and half the time never even bother to thank them for it. They are always there for us and sacrifice plenty for their kids and families that we never even think about.<\/p>\n

If you are a tad financially challenged and don\u2019t have money to buy your mum something special, you could make her a card and give her some special vouchers. Things that say you\u2019ll \u201cwash the dishes\u201d or \u201cmake her a cup of tea or coffee\u201d or \u201csweep or vacuum\u201d or do something else that helps her out\u2026 then she can hand you a voucher at a later stage and you will do the chore with a smile on your face and no whinging! <\/em><\/p>\n

Seriously \u2013 mums very much appreciate things like this.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the little things that have to be done day in and day out that get really tiresome. And while you are about it \u2013 you could keep your room neat for a change, pick up any stuff that you leave lying around the house without her having to ask and nag.<\/p>\n

Give her a fat hug too and tell her that you love her and appreciate her. You don\u2019t have to wait for Mother\u2019s Day to do this either!<\/p>\n

To all the mums out there \u2013 we love and salute you. Thank you for everything.<\/p>\n
