Essay / The Importance of Family Life - 953
A simple comment such as thank you, good job or I love you is no longer considered important or valued. Loving and caring for each other involves more than just a feeling; In fact, it involves action, especially in times when we don't feel like showing our emotions.

Simple gestures such as a loving word of encouragement, a hug, a kiss, a handshake or an arm around the shoulder can speak volumes and mean many things. leaving a thank you note on the fridge or just relaxing together shows your appreciation. Today we find that even though parents and children live in the same house, they are emotionally separated.
