The funeral Mass went smoothly for my late grandaunt. The church was packed with family members, relatives and friends. In fact, it was a beautiful and overwhelming ceremony. Life is done for her here on earth - may she rest in peace.

It was rare that we could gather together like this as we are all busy with works and responsibilities. I'm beginning to realize that our family circle is getting bigger. It was also a chance for me to get to know other relatives whom I haven't met before.
