It goes without saying: the family is the core of society. It's the core where values and characters are formed. All of us are aware of it, aren’t we?

As I see it, the relationship between parents and children is the most significant. Although where I come from, a family is much larger, including uncles, aunts, cousins and in-laws.

But I can’t help saying that the harmonious and unconditional love for grandchildren is a deep experience, a valuable exchange of feelings and a sheer joy.
