My name is Li Min, I am 25 years old this year, and I am an ordinary office worker. My parents died when I was young, so I grew up living with my grandmother. My grandmother was a kind and kind old man, she brought me up and taught me how to behave.
On that day, I took a day off early to reunite with my family. I woke up early, carefully prepared gifts and fruits, and then packed my bags and prepared to go. First, I went to my aunt's house. But when I arrived, I found that my aunt had already taken the family out for a visit, and left a note saying that she was going to climb the mountain. I was a little disappointed, but left the gift at the door anyway and left.
Then I went to my cousin's house and knocked on the door, but no one answered. I tried to hit **, and my cousin told me that the family had gone to a distant relative's house, but would be back soon. So, I had no choice but to leave the gift and continue to the next one.
However, what happened next was pretty much the same. Whether it's a cousin, an uncle, or a cousin, they seem to have other activities arranged. I never saw any of my relatives, and my heart grew heavy.
By the end of the evening, I had visited seven of my relatives, but I still hadn't eaten a meal. I felt very sad and disappointed because in my heart, the reality made me feel lonely and helpless.
When I returned home, my grandmother saw my sad face and asked with concern, "Min'er, what's wrong?"You look a little unhappy. "I didn't hide it and told my grandmother what happened today.
My grandmother patted my hand gently, "Child, maybe they haven't forgotten you, but they each have their own lives." The connection between people is the heart and care in daily life. In any case, you did a good job because you put your heart into it. ”
Grandma's words soothed me a little. I think of my grandmother's care for me and what she taught me over the years. In fact, love and care do not have to be expressed through reunions and dinners, but can be reflected in daily life.
Early the next morning, I sent a text message to each of my relatives expressing my blessings. I told them that I understood their arrangements and thanked them for their continued concern. Unexpectedly, not long after, my relatives replied to my messages one after another, expressing their understanding and blessings to me.
As a result, I realized that even though I didn't get my family together, our friendship and connection never broke. For me, the most important thing is the sincere emotional exchange between my loved ones. This experience not only made me cherish everyone around me more, but also taught me to let go of expectations and treat everything in life with a tolerant heart.
Grandma said that we can prepare a hearty meal together, no matter what the day is, it is worth celebrating.
Perhaps, this is the true meaning of life - even if there are regrets, we must know how to be grateful and cherish.
