Last month I went back to my remote hometown for my passport and I was very happy that I could see my mother and siblings and my parents-in-law. It was a good bonding time for me as I usually do not go back to my hometown due to the long distance and working relationship. I usually go back to my hometown for my summer and winter vacatios when I can see them all. A bonding time with the family is very important for us.

hi Bonding time is the most treasure to our lives. Because we spend time and effort to our love ones. And for me I'd rather go or visit my love ones, some of them are in the province others are in the United States.

I think that it is very important that you should get the time to bond with your family because they are the people who are vital in your life and always will be. One of the things that people tend to forget about are their family when they are busy with lives of their own, but I don't think that this is ever a good thing, as I just don't think that there is ever any excuse to let your family down. I know that I love my family more than anything. This has always been the case, and I am absolutely positive that it always will be.

We used to go to our province before when we were still young during the All souls and saints day and we used to have mini reunions. But, unfortunately, most of my siblings won't be able to come to our province because we do have work to do even on holidays. Some of my cousins also can't come due to other commitments.

A bond means you have a connection together, no matter if you meet or not. My family are my kids and I see them frequently also the ones not living with me anymore. We know where to find and how to reach eachother. We don't need a special date or time of the year to be close (again). I wish you a good visit.

We usually travel during the year but we try to make it back for Thanksgiving or Christmas so we can see family. Facebook lets us keep up with them during the year and we can see how the cousins have grown but its still nice to see them in person and catch up physically instead of digitally. Have fun visiting!

I spend almost every weekend with either a family member or with close friends. That`s why I don`t post much on weekends. But for me it is far more important to have those moments of bonding. On Saturday I invited a close friend for lunch. She is ill and alone and we get together fine. We usually take a walk together while talking, I make a nice lunch and we both take a nap while watching a mvie with our eyes half closed. Yesterday I went to one of my daughter`s house and did some gardening with her. Today, my other daughter came for breakfast. I love that.

Family time will always be one of our most treasured moments. Unlike you, it's kinda difficult for us all to be together. Some of us are based abroad for work and as much as possible, we schedule our get together to coincide with their RnR because we know it would be months before we get to be together again. This Christmas, it will be a bit tricky to make sure we can all celebrate it together. I'm crossing my fingers, we still have about 2 months to iron it out. Hope you and your family have fun!
