“And it shouldn’t just end with you. Marry a partner that is kind to you, your siblings, your loved ones, parents; everyone who means something to you

“Marry a partner that sees your parents as his or her parents. That sees your siblings as their own.

“They are worried that you haven’t eaten. They wanna get your food even though they are not talking to you.

“When you’re sick, you have a cold or a cough, they stylishly buy you drugs and put by your bedside so that you can see can take it.
