Dear Taichung Happiers,

Let’s witness the power of words:
Dear Dad,
$chool i$ really great. I am making lot$ of friend$ and $tudying very hard. With all my $tuff, I $imply can`t think of anything I need. $o if you would like, you can ju$t $end me a card, a$ I would love to hear from you.

Dear Son,
I kNOw that astroNOmy, ecoNOmics, and oceaNOgraphy are eNOugh to keep even an hoNOr student busy. Do NOt forget that the pursuit of kNOwledge is a NOble task, and you can never study eNOugh.

Gee...., you can title it “A father-son $uper heNO story”. Nonetheless, songwriter and author Ellen J. Barrier firmly believes “A strong man is great man of wisdom who understands, his top priority is to his family.” A strong man always acts as a magnet to more strong men. Therefore, welcome to join our host Micro to stick out for Building Strong Family Relationships.

“’Family' is not just a biological word, it's an operative one.” We have been given this cue by Andrew Vachss, an attorney exclusively representing children and youths. Likewise, gardening is used as a powerful metaphor by Award-winning writer and director Sudz Sutherland for “the operative word”, family, in his stories. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibZEQJJDNDo So, what kind of gardener are you? What role do you play in your family? Try this interesting quiz. http://www.playbuzz.com/shira10/what-role-do-you-play-in-your-family

“Family was even a bigger word than I imagined, wide and without limitations, if you allowed it, defying easy definition. You had family that was supposed to be family and wasn't, family that wasn't family but was, halves becoming whole, wholes splitting into two; it was possible to lack whole, honest love and connection from family in lead roles, yet to be filled to abundance by the unexpected supporting players.” Family, change, and resilience feature prominently in Award-winning writer Deb Caletti’s stories. How has your family changed since you were a child? How to manage the fears along the transformation journey? The film THE BÉLIER FAMILY steals our hearts by quietly whispering that a journey of being part of a family is a journey of lost-and-found. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyOiTiFaY-E&app=desktop

Fill in: “Family” is a ___________ word to me. Here are the pieces in the puzzle from American author Seanan McGuire: “But that’s what family is, isn't it? It’s traditions and trinkets that only matter when we hold them up against the mirrors of our lives, lending them meaning, lending them weight, until they become heavy enough to endure without us. We create the past in the things that we choose to remember about it. We turn everything into stories, and those stories matter because we say that they do. It’s all a wheel, and ours are the hands that turn it.” Moreover, the author of Brown Girl Dreaming, Jacqueline Woodson, reassured us that if you know where you are being, you know where you are going. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2YJPGea94E

From "Ode to my Family" by James Mitchell (He composed this at his age 13.)
Giving me everything
But never taking for themselves
I can never give enough
To compensate for what I receive

My family is there for me
As I am for them
Loving helping and caring
That is what family is for.

Building strong family relationships is all about your heart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHXKc2EGKEM Teaming up, every family can write a glorious page. Meanwhile, always bear the Family of Happy English Club in mind. Join us. Thanks.





With Gratitude,
Jasmine
