in a third world country like ours, close family relationship is a HABIT, not a VIRTUE. it is a normal part of life. MY OWN family is not like that. we are more of a humanoid (half-human, half-robot), than human beings.
at first, it was hard. that was not my vision of an ideal family. i was not born to that kind of family. ours was a family close to up to second degree of consanguinity( eg., 2nd cousins). my family-in-law, is not. it is more of the family of today- pre occupied with earning incomes, having cars, latest home gadgets, etc. IT WAS HARD. REALLY HARD!!
until tragedy struck. my wife is diagnosed with an incurable illness. her days are numbered. well, we are supposed to feel sad. yes, it was sort of. but not totally. maybe, it was the effect of being not so close to one another. it was easy to feel the pain. the pain was not as much when i lose my father and father. maybe when that inevitable time comes, it was easy to let go. maybe.
