December is a good time to say ‘thank you’

December is a good month to say ‘thank you’ to your loved ones for being in your life and for all they do with and for you.

Thank you to partners who has worked hard all year to build a home and provide for their family.

Thank you to the mothers who have brought together a happy Diwali, Christmas or any other festival in your culture on top of their normal family duties.

Thank you to friends who have just been there for you, to laugh and cry with you.

Thank you to the children who have brought joy and love into your life even if it also brings you challenges. read more
