A few weeks ago, one of my sisters arranged a lunch meet up for today. The last time where us siblings met for lunch was in May. However, we did have a big family gathering in Aug during National Day at my place. Since my dad was planning to meet one of his grandsons for lunch today, we decided to ask them to join us too. My oldest sister could not make it as she was overseas celebrating her 30th 🙂 wedding anniversary.
I can’t believe that my sisters and I are all over 50 years old already. Dad is 87 this year and still as active as ever, though he requires more rest periods in between during the day.
We met for an early lunch and proceeded to catch up with each other and update one another on our families. I told them about my new job that I will start soon and they were very happy for me. We reminisce on some childhood memories and “clarified” about some punishments mum did on us unruly kids when we were young.
Part 2 after lunch was at my sister’s place for coffee and snacks. Dad’s favourite grandson will graduate from uni next year and he shared with us his work plans. How time flies… I remember helping to watch over him when he was a baby and now he is already 24.
It was a great way to spend a few hours on a Monday. This rare moment allowed all of us to reconnect again and reflect on moments that happen a long time ago, to spend quality family time together. It will be one of those times where we will still talk about for years to come.
