My mom turned 56 last Saturday and the whole bunch of us spent the evening at her place having a scrumptious feast of local delights and played Uno throughout the night. It was one of those treasured moments that rarely happens when we were kids. Sadly, once again, I didn’t take my camera with me and didn’t manage to capture the happy event we had as a family.
My sister will turn 32 on the 15th and we’re gonna have yet another birthday gathering.
I’ve always loved birthdays!
But when I was younger, we never really celebrated any birthdays. Maybe the occasional little gifts for our parents shared among the siblings but that was all there is to it. I’m not fretting, but just a little disappointed that we never cherished those moments. They could’ve been a sweet memory for us to reflect on today. But once again, I’m not regretting what we didn’t have.
Through all the things that we’ve been through, we have learnt to accept now our past and make something out of it.
