It’s been days after Christmas
and only three days left before the New Year is here. While some still stays in their bed longer
than usual, taking advantage of some of the holiday’s privileges - unlimited
rest and sleep, being work-free and doing nothing, I found myself in our
warehouse picking some linens, décor materials and catering utensils. Then I went straight to a Clubhouse where a gathering will be held and started preparing tables and chairs with the help of DH's nephews.
Yesterday, DH’s family had their annual
reunion and the kids were actually the most excited about it, they are happily
looking forward to it every year, buti pa sila hehe.
It’s sad that some family members were abroad however, what makes sadder
is having families who were here and yet didn’t want to be part of the gathering, I can only just sigh.
While some tried to reach out to
estranged families, the latter still chose to be excluded and they even grew in
number, haay. No matter how you try to stay calm and positive, I realize that
we can only do so much especially if we have already step our foot first
towards the path of reconciliation. I guess we’ll just have to accept things
the way it is right now, and maybe, pray and hope that in time, everything will
go back to how it used to be.
