Together Again

    It was December of 2007 when I left for an onshore assignment in Switzerland. In March 2008, my sister Ann left for Canada. I returned to the Philippines in April 2008. My sister and I didnt get the chance to say good bye to each other personally.

  In May 2009, my parents and I travelled to Bangkok in order for them to get a travel history. In February 2010, we tried applying for a Canadian Visitor's visa so we can visit my sister and other relatives. My parents were denied of the visa and I know it broke their hearts because they would not be able to see my sister. Since I was the only one who was issued the visa, I went to Canada to visit my sister. After more than a year I saw her and I realized how much I miss my little sister.

  December 2010, the family on my mother side decided to have a family reunion. My sister was not supposed to be home as her residency visa is not yet issued not to mention the cost. But I guess, God found ways to make it happen so she can spend the holidays with us.

  The last picture we took as family was years ago. And thank God we were able to have one again on New Year's Eve... We are together again as a Family.

  1. i can see the bond of you family is so strong it can stand the test of time and distance. In life there are all kinds of reasons we end up far away from family, from jobs, missions, etc. But the one thing in common for most people is that they eventually start to miss their family. No matter how exciting or new the place is, when you are away from family, even for a short time, you may miss them..
