18 Stories About Family That Make Us Appreciate Our Closest Ones

Family, in any shape or form, is our first organized system, providing love and a sense of security. They’re often unafraid to speak the truth, even if it stings, because their aim is to help you grow rather than judge you. Additionally, family can add a humorous touch to daily life, making everything a bit better.

We believe that good relationships with your family is something precious and some people just can’t help it but share their lovely memories.

For illustrative purpose only
Story 1
My husband and I called my sweet, 85-year-old grandma to tell her I got a new job. She congratulated us, talked for a bit, and then hung up. Later she called me to say I should open a secret bank account and never tell my husband about it. My grandma is fierce.

Story 2
My wife’s uncle (who owned the farm where we were getting married) stood up at the objection part. Immediately, his son yelled at him to sit down. To his credit, he did for about 12 seconds and then stood up again. He objected because there was a big storm coming up the driveway, about to smack the ceremony. My wife made it inside before getting drenched. Got married inside instead.

Story 3
One time in high school, my brother took my car and CRASHED it, got it fixed, and put it back in the driveway all within my 6-hour school day. He kept it a secret for 4 years!!! I think that’s the most sibling thing ever.

Story 4
I went from “Mama”

to “Mommy”

to “Mom”

to, “Hey, can I have a $20?”

Story 5
Found my missing cardigan when my sister posted a FB pic of her wearing it.

Story 6
My aunt just created a group chat called Cheryl’s Surprise Party and then left the group. I’m feeling a lot of emotions but mostly respect.

MY BOYS THINK WE’RE CAMPING… BUT THEY DON’T KNOW WE’RE HOMELESS 💔 They’re still asleep right now. All three of them, curled up under that thin blue blanket like it’s the coziest thing in the world. I watch their little chests rise and fall and pretend—for just a moment—that this is just a fun vacation. We set up the tent behind a rest stop just past the county line. Technically we shouldn’t be there, but it’s quiet. The security guy gave me a look yesterday that said he wasn’t going to kick us out. Not yet. I told the boys we were going camping. “Just us guys,” I said, trying to make it sound like an adventure. Like I didn’t just sell my wedding ring three days ago for gas money and a jar of peanut butter. The thing is… they’re still young enough not to know the truth. To them, sleeping on air mattresses and eating cereal out of paper cups is fun. They think I’m brave. Like I have a real plan. But the truth? I’ve been calling every shelter from here to Roseville, and no one has space for four. One place said maybe Tuesday. Maybe. Their mom left six weeks ago. Said she was going to her sister’s. Left a note and half a bottle of Advil on the counter. I haven’t heard from her since. I’ve been holding it together somehow. Washing up in gas station bathrooms. Making up bedtime stories. Tucking them in every night like everything’s okay. But last night… my middle one, Micah, mumbled something in his sleep. He said, “Daddy, I like this better than the motel.” And that just about broke me. Because he meant it. And because I know tonight might be the last night I can make this feel like a game. As soon as they wake up, I have to tell them something I’ve been dreading. And just as I reached for the zipper on the tent— (Continues in the first comment 🗨️👇)
