Family Reunions

Suja

Family reunions are special occasions that bring relatives together to celebrate, catch up, and strengthen bonds. My gatherings are often filled with joy, laughter, and the warmth of familial love. My family gatherings are usually small because most of my extended family members are living in other countries all over the world. For many people, family reunions are an important tradition, especially during significant events like festivals, birthdays, and holidays and this is the same for me too.

 

In my family, reunions usually happen during festivals or birthdays. When we get together, there are lively conversations, delicious home-cooked food, and several shared memories. We have always cherished these moments as they provide a sense of belonging and continuity.

 

However, since I moved to another country, our reunions now primarily occur during holidays. Being far from home has made me appreciate these gatherings even more. The anticipation of returning home and reconnecting with my family is always exciting. Despite the distance, we make the most of our time together during holidays. We exchange stories, enjoy our meals now either at home or at a restaurant, and create new memories!

Even though I live far from my family now, technology helps us stay connected. We often have virtual reunions where we chat and share updates. This way, the distance feels a little less daunting. When we finally meet in person during holidays, it feels like no time has passed at all.

In conclusion, family reunions are invaluable. They remind us of where we come from and strengthen the bonds that keep us connected, no matter the distance.
