Family ReunionMy family have been trying to organize a family reunion for the longest time. This time we really wanted to get together in honor of my mother who really valued family reunions. She kept in touch with all my brothers and sister and updated everyone on everyone's activites. Since she passed away, it seemed like we were all disconnected from each other. So in her honor, my brothers and sister are trying to make an effort to get together again. It is just not so easy because we live a thousand miles away from each other, (Philippines, USA, Cambodia and Germany) and we all have busy lives and schedules with our own families.
It is ironic that when someone dies, we all drop everything we are doing, and fly to their funeral from whereever we are. Even if we did not have the financial budget, we find means and ways to fly. This time we really do want to celebrate the living rather than wait for someone to die. I am looking forward to our reunion in May in Cebu.
