There had been quite a few gathering among the family recently. PotLuck at dad shop, bowling sessions and most recently, a bbq at Pasir Ris Park to celebrate Father's Day.
It's the first time that we celebrate Father's Day together as an extended family. We always used to celebrate Mother's Day because of Granny. This year we did not as it still hurt too much..
I was looking at the photos that Siong had taken and mumbling to myself why we had never organized such outings before.. were we really so busy with our own lives that we had forgotten about our cousins, aunties & uncles..
I told Siong... next time.. even if my kids get married and have kids.. everyone has to come back for dinner once a week or fortnightly.. i recalled a saying 'Family that eat together.. bond together'. i recalled a time long ago that my cousins will all come for dinner regularly.. i cant recalled why that practice was stopped...maybe things will have been different...
Few days ago.. i walked into my bro's room and saw his ROM, wedding photos pasted on his cupboard.. Grandma was smiling in each photo... she looked so pleased and proud and happy in them. Tears started streaming down....
Today, i went in to look at those photos again.. i called Jovan into the room and asked him who that was.. he replied .. "Mah Mah"... thats how he called her.. he remembered her.. how proud i was of him and yet how sad i were..
