What is sad about most families is that they grew up like this, sleeping together, eating together, visiting each other but today most of these people:

1. Don’t talk to each other.

2. Don’t visit each other.

3. Have become enemies even though they are a family.

4. Accuse each other of witchcraft and jealous.

5. The new generation born out of these families don’t know each other because their parents, who are siblings, are no longer on talking terms, and the tragedy is these kids end up dating each other because they don’t know their family tree and roots.

6. Only meet during funerals.

The most sad part is the grandmothers or grandparents who were the glue holding families together are long gone.

This Christmas, make means to mend fences with your relatives. Be the bigger and mature person, you lose nothing by extending a hand to your brother, sister, cousin or a long lost relative.
