Family Reunion
Our parents came from a large family, especially on my mother's side they have so many siblings. To think that thirteen children were cared for back then by my abuelo (grandfather) and abuela (grandma). Their descendants have grown to be larger than they are now from thirteen siblings.
Bias will unavoidably exist when discussing our parents' respective sides of the family. I used to enjoy spending time with my father's side of the family, but that was back when; I'll explain why I dislike them now in a few days. Even though there are a lot of relatives on my mother's side, I now value them more and prefer to interact with them, especially at family gatherings. This is because it is more fun to be with them and they are also good to get along with.
My mother came from a very poor family, she was the ninth child out of thirteen siblings. It's been a while since my mother's side of the family held a gathering. To allow the siblings to once again enjoy a straightforward bonding experience with their family, a family reunion was planned for early this year. We were able to hold the celebration during the prolonged planning period, but there was some conflict among my mother's siblings because one of my aunts and even her family did not attend the event due to a misunderstanding. I'm not sure why exactly they decided not to attend the family reunion, but it was very upsetting for all of us. Despite this, we made an effort to continue the celebration without them because everyone was organized for it.
Despite the issues between the siblings, everyone was content and especially the kids enjoyed our simple reunion of our large family. I guess my nephew who rarely gets out of the house also made the most of it as from the beginning to the end of the program we couldn't bother him with his dancing and participation in the games.
I just hope that we will be able to finish it the next time my mother's family gets together because it is still more pleasant when everyone is present and getting along.
