I got excited to have some of these Sushis and Makis.
This is a combined birthday celebration of my father and myself, my mother always insisted of celebrating our special days and I think that without her these days will just pass like an ordinary day. My siblings doesn't celebrate their birthdays with a gathering anymore, they just prefer eating out with their own families and that is still fine by me but with regards to my parent's birthdays, it must be done with a special gathering.
My mother just prepared some fried chicken and Tilapia fish, I told her that I like a broiled mudfish but she said that she will just fry Tilapia. It sucks because it doesn't make it special because for me, what make some "grand" fish dish is to at least broil it over coals and or do a barbecue. I am not good enough with my current body to do barbecue, much less prepare a fish for broiling so again I must let it go and contend with what my mother will prepare to be shared by our small family.
I hate that my sibling have small number of children, it is in my opinion not good for the kids especially if one would have a problem in the future, all that they can count on without their parents will be just each other. I realized that fact when I got hospitalized and the hospital no longer allows senior citizens to look after a patient. So when my mother was at the hospital, every nurse and guard that sees her would point it out on her and told her to have her replaced by your members of the family.
So my other siblings took turns to look after me in the hospital after my mother told them to do so because of the hospital's policy or rules because of the need for it. I would be in a much trouble if I only have one sibling with that kind of situation especially that I have no family of my own (wife and kids). That is why I was thinking about this issues with my nieces and nephews if they would get in the same situation, may God forbid that they will not but I guess that they will not because some of my nieces and nephews has their other cousins in their mother side of the family and that is a good thing.
In this country that I live in, we have a tightknit family structure and it just means that the members of the family helps each other and never for each one's self only. It makes sense because even in nature, the animals try to be in the same group in a harmonious relationship for survival of the group. It is because naturally, it is hard to live being alone because we needed belongingness and constantly need other people especially now that the economy is not getting any better but in-fact getting worse as time goes by because our money is losing its value because of the kind of financial system that the financial entities are doing that only favors the rich and powerful.
Anyway, I ordered some additional foods that we will share together. The cost of celebration nowadays is tough for the pockets so only that those have extra money can be grand for celebrating stuffs whatever it is that they want to celebrate with which is why maybe my brothers just do not celebrate their birthdays anymore because maybe we with my siblings aren't used to it when we were just younger because we do not have an extra budget for it but my mother tries to at least cook some spaghetti for us to eat together and that is without my father around because he is always working abroad when we are still young.
After my sibling had the job of their own and earing money that these types of family gathering took place because at least there will be a budget to do it unlike before but now it is just centered around the birthday of my parents and I am guessing that it will stop when they will not be around anymore. Right now I am contemplating about it because it will be a sad part of my life if when I happen to experience it but it is life and we just have to move on and just cherish the moment that our lived ones are still around and celebrate every second of their existence because they are more valuable than the universe for us.
Happy Birthday to you and your father!
