After our discussion yesterday I really started thinking about my family and how we interact with each other. In my family my mom tends to be the more affectionate one while my dad is more of the jokester. My mom tells me and my brother that she loves us everyday and she gives us hugs all of the time. Even though my dad doesn't say that he loves us everyday I know that he does. The way that my dad shows affection is through joking with us and just having fun. My family also has a lot of positive communication. We talk all of the time and not just with my family in the house. We get together with other family members all of the time. We have family game nights about 3 times a month. I think that is really important. I think families do need to get together more often then just a family reunion. I think that is what makes a family stronger, is getting together and having fun.
