My 3 brothers are awaiting my fourth brother at the international airport. Big brother R is coming home from the UK for a 3-week Christmas vacation, and my kid brother always keeps us updated on Face Book. His latest post is “possible delay?”, so the three of them might wait a little longer.
We are expecting the 4 of them arriving on either Monday or Tuesday. My brother from UK will ride on a public transport, and the other three will ride on my kid brother’s car. I hope traffic will ease when they travel.
My sister and I are both happy because at last the 6 of us will have reunion. The last time that all of us were together was when our dear mother joined our father last 13th of June 2009. Now, the reunion is a happy one. I miss my siblings!
Will you be having your reunion this Christmas?

What matters is there is a family union.

Not for this Christmas :(. I just started a new job and I do not have any vacation leave credits yet to take the time off. I have to travel 13,000 miles to be reunited with my parents and siblings, and also this is something that I have to prepare financially. However, the boyfriend and I plan to visit my family hopefully by Christmas next year, God willing.

We are all getting together at my brother's house. There is only four of us this Christmas - my dad, brother, sister, and me. My mother and younger brother are in heaven.
