Sunday was the best part of every week for us, or at least for me. The whole family go to church every Sunday morning. After that, we go to the beach for the rest for the rest of the day. And there we meet our relatives... cousins, tito and tita (uncle and auntie), lolo and lola (grandpa and grandma).. There we eat lunch and go swimming the whole day. We play games, laugh together and the adults. they drink together as they sing at tops of their lungs at the videoke (karaoke). I was always looking forward to Sunday. I sleep early on Saturday night to have a full energy on Sunday. We are close as a family. We love to get together. A simple lunch together at one's house will do every now and then. But Sunday get together became a routine. But then the elderly dies one by one. We are beginning to be not complete anymore. Then some got married and moved to another city far enough to not join. We are beginning to have our own Sunday in a different event. We grew apart. But we still have get together. We still talk, we still party. Just not the usual Sunday we used to. This started when our lolo dies. Then the aunties and uncles... Then we kids became adult and have a life of our own to different cities.
But I don't think that this made us cold to each other. I mean, we still are family. We still love one another and we still support each other. But I'm not gonna lie. I miss the old times. I miss our bonding. I miss our "family day". I miss my lolo and lola, my dad.. I miss everyone. If i can go back to one of those days, I will laugh like I haven't laughed before. I will dance like I haven't danced before. I will sing my heart out.
Memories make it feel like they're still here. So I am passing the memory to my kinds, my husband and to everyone reading this article. We all have family member/s that is already at peace but their memory still lives and will never leave our hearts.
I love this article, its all about love of a family. Bondings and care to each other. I know someday I will have this kind of family, a happy family bringing joy together. Creating happy memories and some such things.
