They have come and now have gone again. Z & W came for a month's visit with their parental units over the Christmas and New Year holidays. Time spent as a family unit is much treasured these days, given the geographical distance between us. Even more precious was time spent with their grandparents during a short getaway to Taipei, as due to various circumstances, visiting them in Singapore is not an option.
I loved simply just listening to and being a part of conversations between us. Nothing beats face to face interactions. Facetime is a blessing to be had for sure, but I do miss the physical togetherness of being a family, extended or otherwise.
Having said that, now that they have returned home, A says he is happy to be back to our usual grind and day to day schedule. We love them dearly, but there is something to be said to be just the two of us once more.
