International Family Day is annually celebrated on May 15. This holiday was established by the UN General Assembly in 1993 to reflect the importance that the international community attaches to families. The International Day provides an opportunity to raise awareness of family-related issues and to expand knowledge of the social, economic and demographic processes affecting families.
A person is created to be loved. The source of unconditional love, joy, respect and comfort for us is the family. Our life begins with the family, our personality is formed in the family. The family is created to be a breeding ground for love and care. Family unity is like being wrapped in a warm, cozy blanket that allows you to feel loved, accepted and important. In the family, we laugh, cry, share special moments in life. In the family, we receive values in the form of love, care, trust, honesty, kindness, empathy, compassion, to become good people.
There is no perfect family. Family crises which occur at every stage of life require a lot of strength and resources to overcome them. It is possible for everyone to go through a crisis together if you understand that all families face similar situations. It is important to remember that the family becomes stronger, and people become closer through overcoming a crisis.
