One time I was in hospital when my appendix burst. Everyone came to visit. I remember how sad they were because I nearly died. I still remember the day after the operation, how hard it was to walk, go toilet, have a shower. I was in so much pain and my siblings just lightened up the mood and made me so happy I come to tears thinking about it.

A wise person once said, and I quote
"A family, like no one can see, a family, everyone wants to be."
