That's Life, isn't it?

I'm with my relatives for 4 days and these days are charged with many experiences and feelings. Joy , sorrow, happiness, disgust, shock and what not!
Let me start with the Christmas night singing. The singing could have been better. A senior member of the village literally vented his disappointment . That left a sour taste in my mouth.
In my relatives' village there were late celebrations of Christmas. There were birthdays and l also took part in a funeral mass. Yesterday , a distant relative died . Today in the evening there was a condolence service and a prayer for the repose of the departed soul. I attended it from the beginning to the prayer.
There were moments of joy and pride as well.
Tomorrow, I plan to return to my place of work, to my strains of foster parenting.
All this is part of life, isn't it?

Wow! That's a lot of emotions and happening there... I hope the better memories will stay and throw out the bad ones.

It sounds like the Christmas period was a real mix of emotions. Safe travels for tomorrow.
