Remember when you invited relatives living to stay over and take an advantage of a wonderful occasion — May 18 is National Visit Your Relatives Day. Your career is important, but it does not replace your family. People need the unconditional love, support, and sympathy found in the family circle.
The History
In the late 60s, marriages between people of different races were legalized in the United States. A new historical social study emerged — the history of the family allowed tracking family ties, learning about ancestors, tracing inherited and individual traits, and establishing the origins of a family tradition.
How to take part
Modern means of communication make private conversations with relatives living far away easy. You may use a video call if it is not possible to visit them.
- Express gratitude and appreciation. Your relatives will cherish it.
- Make an appointment and do what you love: remember your childhood. Play board games, browse through a photo album, or listen to funny stories.
- Send a postcard with pleasant, sincere congratulations. Arrange a pleasant surprise for a holiday.
Set aside your work tasks, call your loved ones, and organize a celebration together. Cook a delicious homemade dish or dessert and talk about essential topics over tea. It brings you closer.
