family ...

... is a funny business. So complicated ~ apparently 72 different types of family structures exist nowadays. 1/2 marriages in the West end in divorces. I don't know if it is because we all want to be loved in a way that we are not. Looking at my own parents, it is hard to say if they are truly happy with each other; the rows, the disappointments, the pain, the heartaches ... my friends' parents don't seem to fare much better. Yet, the start of each relationship is so full of promises, hopes, love ... what happen to them? just disappear without a trace? Or do we just need to try a little bit harder? Maybe Mother Teresa is right in that "do not think that love to be genuine has to be extraordinary. What we need is love without getting tired".
