That’s how I felt through out my 10-day break with my parents. Though there were some naggings here and there- ‘Don’t drink alcohol before food’, ‘Don’t leave your wallet on the table’, ‘Zip your bag’, ‘Don’t forget the passports’, deep down my heart, I felt sheltered...
Had a tad sense of loss when I came back home . Back to reality – I’ve long past a little girl, I’m all grown up. I am happily married. I am an adult.
In a nutshell, the trip is themed “Discovering my parents”. Getting to know my parents whom I’ve only shared 10 years of my life living with under one roof. It’s not easy, but it’s worth while. It is definitely not easy for them to accept the fact that their girl is no longer 7 or 18! But it’s great! It’s an unbeatable experience! We talked and talked and talked. Catching up on lost time.. I talked about my work, Marcel, my friends.. who is getting married, who has a new baby.. Dad almost finished his life story with me and even wanted me to write a biography about him. Mom told me things that I’ve completely forgotten – that she had a twin sister (who passed away very very young).. So there you go, with a set of twins in Marcel’s family PLUS my mom’s gene of being a twin herself, let’s hope for some miracles in my life!
In conclusion: trip of my life.
