Lunar New Year
I’ve been following this tradition literally all my life. Each year I learn something new about my family. Each year I learn to appreciate my family more and more. It’s a blessing to have such a great family and although we show that we care in the strangest manners, I’m glad we’re all together.
My grandma always cooks and sets up the table and, as a child, I would watch or I’d be busy doing schoolwork. However, this year—since I can’t cook those dishes the way she does—I helped with the clean up. I did all the dishes. Which isn’t much because I should be doing that all the time right? Well. she would yell at me to stop whenever I started washing the dishes, but she didn’t this time. It was strange.
These traditions bring back childhood memories that I’ll cherish forever.
