HAPPY 79th BIRTHDAY TO MY DEAREST NANAY!
Last sunday, we got to celebrate our Nanay's birthday. This year, we celebrated it in our house for a swimming party in the club house.
It has always been a tradition for our family to celebrate Nanay's birthday as a swimming party as it suits the summer season. Way before when I was still a kid, we used to go out-of-towns for some beaches. And those times where the days when the whole Oropeza clan is still complete. By that I mean no family has still migrated to another country.
But now, a lot of my relatives are migrating already and only a few of us are left here to stay. That means, less people to mingle around the party. I hate the fact that they have to leave. But that's one thing I can't control.
It's just sad to see that the tradition is slowly fading away. I think some of them forgets the importance of this occasion. If it weren't for the kids, maybe there wouldn't be a swimming party at all and it will be just plain lunch.
I'm not complaining though that the plain lunch would be a boring idea. But I just want this tradition to be alive, to continue on until the next generations. This is a time for our family to be together. And it is a time for us to cherish it!
I love my family and I love the realationship we have. We're a bunch of crazy people! And I love them for that.
