It's awesome to organise Familly week here! Thank you for great initiative @Dillion :))
First thing that came to my mind after reading the announcement is question:
What is familly? What does it mean for me and for others?
To resolve my doubts I checked out definition of the word.
Familly is a group of people related by blood, marriage; parents and their children.
Sometimes we need to make sure if we are talking about the same thing :)
I hope that during this week all of us will give special attention to our relatives, show them appreciation, give helping hand, take particular care and understanding of their life and issues, bring them smile but most of all
smother them with love and praise
Let's make them feel important, loved and valuable. Our actions and words have power. We can use that power to make world better place to live.
What you do for yourself dies with you when you leave this world,
what you do for others lives on forever.

Thank You @Dillion for this amazing thread. Thank You @carefreePerspective39 for inviting me to answer.
According to me: No matter whatever life will throw at us(FAMILY) we'll be there for each others together till the end. No matter how many times I argue with my parents, sisters, brothers but I have unconditional LOVE for them always. Family means whenever one is down the others will be there to pull him/her up. I think unconditional LOVE, CARE & RESPECT for each others are the base of a family.
To me that is FAMILY.
Unfortunately these are not true for everyone for some reasons. I wish them love, care and happiness.
