All of us grow up, get educated, gain various experiences when we are amidst our parents and siblings who are our immediate family. This is a closely knit relation as parents and children form a basis of family. The family expands when more members are either born or join the family either through marriage or via relationship with one of the family members.

Mia was a part time social activist and helped people in solving their issues, may it be personal issues within the family or issues between neighbors or other people. She also was a psychiatrist who helped out people in sorting out their issues. However, once she thought back on different cases she had handled in her life and one of the cases remained strong in her head which highlighted the importance of family.
Ray had chosen the wrong group of friends which almost killed him. He was addicted to drugs and this made him do various things that led to breaking the law. He used to overspeed on the driveway and almost hit other vehicles, make a brawl with others over parking and so on. His family was really concerned about this behavior and wanted him to visit Mia. However, Ray refused to visit Mia and attempted to escape from the meeting where he remained successful.
Ray's mom was so concerned that she visited Mia to ask for advice. They made up a plan. One late night, Ray was at home, playing games in his room. Mia discreetly visited Ray's house and knocked at his door. Ray said that he needed his privacy and was not interested in wasting time with Mia.
Mia offered that she would gift Ray with an expensive bottle of wine, chat for some time and promised that she would never visit Ray again if he wished so.
Ray was tempted to get his hands on the wine. He opened the door and offered a seat to Mia. She calmly handed over the bottle of wine to Ray. After a few of the ice breaking exchanges, she asked him to share one of his most memorable days of his childhood and why he liked it. He told about the picnic he had with his parents and sister and how happy all of them were. He had thought of how lucky he was to have such a family. When enquired on why he had changed, he said that his parents had no time for him or his sister and they never went out on trips or spent time at home. He found comfort with drugs so that he could forget his real life and be in an imaginary world for sometime where there are no worries about anything or anyone.
Mia told Ray how bad choices in life could ruin it completely. She promised Ray that his parents won't be the same with him and that she would help Ray by making his parents understand how important their kids should be. Mia spoke with his parents in front of Ray. His mom was in tears and she accepted that she provided very little attention to her children as both her and her husband were too busy to make money and save it for the future of the kids.
Mia was glad that she helped a family become closer once again and that Ray was enrolled in a de-addiction center to begin living his normal life, away from substance.
