First for everything

Being away from home on a festive season is something I have not experience before. On this day, far away from home, i keep wandering what it is like to be home, having reunion together with my family, listening to the little talks they make, the jokes they crack and the laughter they share. I never once thought of reunion this way. It has always been a rountine every year and not being there this year open my eyes to how I am so fortunate the past few years of my life to be surrounded by them on the eve. Its something I think I've taken granted for. It is only the absence of it that makes you yearn for it more. Well, there is a first for everything. Whether I like it or not, whether I want it or not. I can't do anything about it...
