GETTING TOGETHER
With everybody getting older, it's becoming increasingly difficult to get our entire family together. For example, the Shen family was able to get together last December during the holidays. And that was a time to cherish, especially since we're all spread across the state now. And this past Sunday for Mother's Day, my mom's side all got together for dinner and an impromptu singing/piano time afterwards. We sang everything from Beauty and the Beast to Moulin Rouge songs to The Sound of Music to My Fair Lady and even some classics from Neil Diamond to Billy Joel, etc... Somebody recently said we were like the Von Trapp family. I guess it's true.
These are times that are becoming fewer and farther between, and that's why I'm learning to not take them for granted anymore.
