Family

Family really plays an important role in our life. A few things happened these two weeks. One of our relatives passed away because of traffic accident. I was really shock when I first knew it as our last memory of this kind of thing was long long time ago when my great grandma passed away. So all my cousins and I went back last weekend. We couldn't go back immediately as all of us need to work during week days. It was really sad when I saw my auntie crying non-stop. I might not be able to know how she felt exactly about losing a life partner, but I can imagine how painful it would be when we lose any of our family members. My father and uncle went back immediately and helped on the arrangement. That's when I realized how important and close family member can be.

Another thing happened last week also made me realize how important and supportive family can be. One of my cousins and her husband were supposed to come back last week also because of this. However, they had an argument on the way back and he just dropped her then went back to Taipei straight away. Of course, there are several causes for this from the beginning of the marriage.

In my point of view, her husband doesn't care about her and the kid. Besides, to him and his family, wife or daughter in law are still outsider to the family. "Daughter in law" is the one who supposed to do everything for the family and they really take it for granted. Sad to say that but I think my cousin now is only there for her son and I doubt how long it can last. She is actually the best-tempered among 5 girls in my family. Her husband isn't really like her to interact with us. I guess he just worried that we would give her some "bad" ideas and thoughts. However, that night, all the family members talked to her all together and I believe we did make her feel how supportive we are with any decision she is going to make. All 5 sisters just squeezed into the smallest room like what we did when we were kids though now we have a few big rooms around. That's "family" and I think I made a correct decision to come back. I want to be with my family.
