You do realise... that it's the 27th today?
*Big smile*
Happy 30th month, my huggy darling.
See you in 11 hours' time. I miss you already.

I had a really long talk with Aunt over dinner (3 hours, in fact) about everything that's going on in and out of the house, which made me realise how much I miss having a proper conversation with ANYONE in my extended family. Which is kind of sad. Everyone's basically missing family dinners, prayer sessions and drifting apart. I miss those boisterous Saturday dinners with loads of food, talk and wine. I miss those times we fought over the remote control. I miss watching Grandma shuffling around in the house and asking her dozen of grandchildren to tuck in. And I'm so afraid that such moments will continue to dwindle and disintergrate someday. The victim of a progressively successful country, I'm afraid, is the family.
