Family

Family: what is family ?

Family is all members of the house living under one roof; if living apart - should be contacting each other every now and then.  Should gather together for meal regularly.  Many many more ...............

Well my family - its small but then I feel that its not united. Each one has his or her own thinking own mindset hardly one time where everyone is unanimous.  Take the reunion dinner for example, usually my youngest sis-in-law will go back to the neighbour country about 1 week before the CNY and always ask for early reunion dinner from our family.  But my younger bro is always unable to meet it halfway. I find that he is just unacommodating.  Its just to get everyone to sit down and have a meal together - what is so difficult ? I don't understand. He always doesn't want to give in.

Though I am not the one asking for early reunion dinner but with this kind of answer I would feel disappointed. 

Like today, my mum asked my bro again to have early reunion dinner, he said the wife is unable to make it due to work .....  Yes, I know work is important but family should always comes first.  Sigh................

Perhaps it because the 2 bros are not close enough. In fact the three of us are not close. (Sigh).

As we start to age, our thinking will become more and more matured, more and more understanding, more and more regrets that there were so much things we didn't do or never think of doing it.  Isn't it a bit too late to realise all these facts of life ? maybe yes, maybe no. (For me, I felt that I haven't treated my late father good enough). I always wish time could be turned around; could go backwards and I should be able to do better than I had done it.

Well, we should all treasure our family members when they are near us when they are around !
