The Importance of Family Traditions

 Family traditions counter alienation and confusion. They help us define who we are; they provide something steady, reliable, and safe in a confusing world. - Susan Lieberman

If I don't, I believe our lives will pass by with colorless experiences due to getting caught up in our dull life to life responsibilities.
