It was a special day. Who knew that Mon’s parents and my parents have the same anniversary?!?
For weeks, Mon and I had been planning how we’ll spend that day as, it may be good to celebrate it the exact day. At one point, we decided that we’ll celebrate with my parents and my family on a Saturday, and then his parents and his family on a Sunday.
We got too daring though and decided to, well, just do everything (i.e. two separate celebrations) the same day!
That’s crazy.
But first things first, I do not want to gloss over the fact that I very much expressed my strong opinions on the results of the elections last May.
I have not spoken to my parents since the aftermath of the election day, and it would my the first time to meet them again. I knew there’ll be some slight awkwardness given my disappointment but I eventually chose and decided to move forward from it. They are my parents after all.
I just hope that we’d eventually have a meeting of minds in the coming weeks or months about the choices that were made. But I will just let things to naturally take their course and not impose anything. Besides, I really look forward to traveling with them in 2023 and put into fruition Mama’s lifelong dream to visit Rome.
