I might have agreed with you had I not landed in the US with a man blessed with a family to be treasured. I have no family of my own left, barring a few cousins scattered over the globe, it’s a treat for me to once again be part of a family circle, and to take part in their traditions.

Our day, like yours, was free of argument, screaming kids ( because they’re now evolved into charming young adults), and the time together was filled with love, respect and joy in each other’s company.
