Family

I always welcome family gatherings no matter what the cause is..be it an unwarranted occurrance such as death or sickness of a family member or happy occassion such as weddings, hari raya or holidays...When family gathers during sadness the burden in our hearts seem to lighten by seeing the faces of our other family members. It is as if their presence took our sadness away...and in joy their presence heightened the happiness that we felt.
