Cousin found a set of old photos of our family and posted them on Facebook.
I am super happy to see them again because I thought they were long lost. I didn't really spend a lot of time with my grandparents in the past because they lived in Jakarta while I was growing up in Hong Kong. But I miss them.
This is a photo of my grandparents celebrating their 50th anniversary.
Being with the same person for this long is a big accomplishment, esp in today's standards. Our divorce rate in America is over 50%. I know and we all have heard a lot about how social changes over the years affect our attitude towards commitment. People these days jump into a relationship easily and also give up their relationship easily too.
My grandparents had nine children, 5 boys and 4 girls. Grandma was the queen of the family. Grandpa worked hard enough so that grandma never had to work a single day in her life. She was very spoiled according to my aunties. If grandpa was the head of the family, grandma was the neck. From the pictures, which I didn't know in the past, I can tell they loved each other a lot.
I used to think grandma was a very difficult woman and didn't want to get close to her, but now I think she was really lucky and I envy her...
