Meeting In-laws
May 31, 2008
Meeting in-laws for the first time makes anyone nervous. Commonly, people are on their best behavior at this particular time. At the same time, it is an exciting time for both parties as they try to get to know each other on a more personal level.
When I spoke with my in-laws for the first time, it was definitely an exciting experience. Right away, they showed their happiness toward me and made me feel at ease. My father-in-law expressed how I fit right into the family. In addition, he revealed how my mother-in-law cheerfully talked about me all the time.
On the other hand, all my mother-in-law wanted to do was shower me with all kinds of gifts. She even started talking about grandchildren. Although I felt shy, still I was glad to see her excitement.
Go See Her, Now!
April 12, 2008
When I moved out of my aunt’s house to my own place, it felt great. My aunt and I had disagreements but deep down we loved each other like crazy. In the first few years, I would go see my aunt often. However, studying in college and the busyness of life hindered me from my visits.
Later, I found out about her having a near death experience and I truly thought of making an effort to see her. For some reason or another I always got trapped into things and postponed seeing her to another weekend.
That same month I received a phone call from one of my church members that my aunt had passed away. I couldn’t believe my ears about what I was hearing. Shocked and distressed I suddenly lost all my feelings (she was only in her thirties and died from internal bleeding). I loved my aunt as my second mother and she was the greatest loss in my life.
At last, I realize the unexpected can happen without a warning and there is no rewind button in life.
Finally Married!
May 31, 2008
Marriage brings two people together in a binding commitment that is meant to last forever. Not only are the two joined as one but they are also accountable to each other. For some people these changes are exciting and they begin to see everything positively. However, some these changes have a negative effect and they feel trapped.
For my husband and I, it is a mix of both. I am still learning not to feel as if I am under his supervision, and at the same time I don’t treat him that way either. Mostly, it is human nature that drives us to be
a certain way as we respond differently. Moreover, it also depends on the situation and the timing.
