When last did you have a family reunion of sorts? Meeting up and sharing with a family member or members you haven't seen face to face for a long time. Such an occasion happened for me last month when family members l haven't seen in almost a decade visited. The time we spent together was wonderful. Even though technology has made it possible for us to be in close touch with loved ones who live in different continents, nothing beats face to face and warm hugs. So when last did you have a family reunion? Any reunions planned for this year or next year.? Time sure flies.

@Kandae11 I'm not really into family reunions. I can handle having a sister visit me for a day or so but having to figure out who their kids are and their grandkids and make small talk- a huge nope for me.

It has been several years. My mother's family used to have them every year, but Covid kind of killed that, and they haven't started back up. I think the lady who was organizing them is pretty old, and lost interest. Also, my dad's side had them at Christmas but most the second generation moved away.

My family never gathers. My in-laws get together at least once a year. They are a really big family, so we always have to rent a small hall to gather.

You're right about nothing quite matching up to seeing people face to face. It's been a while since we had a reunion.

Same here. That is why after 10 years this one was a really big occasion for me. Is there a member or members of your family who you would love to meet again soon?

I am glad you had a family reunion. Last family reunion was in 2017, when my Mom was still healthy and my sister in law still alive. Now they both have gone, we have no more family.

@Kandae11 We have a niece who lives in Italy, she has two young babies, we do not meet her since Covid started. It's not really great to be only my husband and I, but it is what it is.

@Kandae11 Sad because you know you'll never see some of them again this side of heaven? I'm glad it was awesome.

On my mother's side, we have get-togethers. Our last one was Easter. But it wasn't the whole family. The whole family on that side gets together at Christmas. I don't know the family on my father's side.

I don't know half the family on my father's side. We live in so many different countries.

It was wonderful you had a family reunion. Its great to see family you haven't seen in years. There are so many of my cousins in New York city we've been trying to contact for over a decade. We used to have a family reunion every year, but after grandmother got older, no one coordinated it anymore. Thanks to your post I will start trying to contact my cousins again.

During the Chinese New Year this year, my family had a feast gathering. As it is an important festival for us and we were off work and school. It's easier for us to get together and have a meal.

I find that opportunities like important festivals and traditions are taken gladly if circumstances allow.
