When I got home, I saw gifts with greeting cards on the living room. As it turns out, Marissa’s (my sister based in San Francisco) package arrived today. I was hoping that everything would be intact. She informed me that she placed angpao inside the greeting cards and had these sent via LBC. Uh oh. That got me alarmed. Anyway, it was a blessing that her gifts arrived safely.
Shobe, (that’s how I call Marissa) sent me a greeting card and gifts. I was surprised to see a $100 bill inside my greeting card and that wasn’t enough. Separately, I had 2 gifts from her as well. A set of fashionable key holder and a set of metallic canisters for my brick a bracks. I was happy to receive these well thought of presents but at the same time, I was sad that for the 2nd straight year, shobe wasn’t around to celebrate Christmas with us. I felt I miss having her around. I guess that’s just the way it is when all siblings are all grown up and we have our own choices in life. Shobe will be home in February for a visit. I wish Koc will be home too so we can have a family reunion.
