people and places

I watched the movie Lion , it was a bit boring but very moving. I felt the joy when he finally saw his mother after 25 years and felt the joy of the two mothers when they met. I also felt the sadness when he did not see his brother anymore because he already passed away.

I recently had the opportunity to see my relatives in LA and few friends. The joy of seeing them and reminiscing the good old days is priceless. We met at my mom's birthday lunch and it was an endless goodbye. We were laughing the whole time. It was a real joy to see them all. That time with my family and friends is something I will cherish forever. I am so happy to see all my elderly aunts and uncles and of course my sisters, cousins, friends and their family.

The following week we went to a hotspring resort, it was a beautiful 5 star resort. We had fun and a good time but the joy we had there is nowhere near when we had the party with friends and family. My sister happened to have a very close friend who live nearby. My sister was reluctant to contact her because she is worried that she will be disturbing her or imposing on her. With my persuasion she contacted her friend and she invited us to come over and treated us to dinner. Again we had so much joy meeting her and spending time with her, specially my sister.

My sister and her friend were both grateful that I persuaded my sister to meet her friend. When we got to her place there was a sign in front of her house that it was already sold. She just recently divorced and going back to Philippines in a week's time. All her sons have their own family and left the nest. If it wasn't for my persuasion they probably lost connection forever, but that night they got reconnected and planned to stay connected.

I shared my motto to them; If you have the chance to meet people in a place you go, meet the people first. The place will be there for a long time if not forever while on the other hand people move to different places and will not be here forever. I share the same to you. Grab the opportunity to meet people you want to meet before it is too late.

I know there are people we want to avoid or want to disappear forever.

    Quoting Moonies_shadow:
    If your friends and family are all here in the states then why don't you move there? Why live so far away by yourself? After all, in the Filipino culture, Family is everything diba?
Many but not all and none of my children live in the US.
