Excellent posts Munni!!
And to everyone else too!!
I have to agree - more than words it's your actions that show the truth of your feelings. I love my family dearly and even though when I was younger I used to get irritated at the scoldings and the good intentioned words my mum would have with me I now know she did it for my betterment.
And not only my mum but my aunts - my mum's sisters and my mami's have acted in the same way with me. They have always praised us when we have done good and brought us to the right path whenever we have strayed by either talking to us to make us understand or scolding us when need be. Due to this I have always felt that the relationships between us are more than just accidents of birth and marriage but truly heartfelt!!!
Now I'm going to go back to watching Monday's episode - need to catch up because I've been too busy!!!
