Big Family

Two days ago My aunt who came from Brazil invited all of her siblings and their children (those who were still here at least) to lunch. It was a great gathering and one of the rare occasions that only happens every now and then (usually in unhappy situations).
It is interesting to see all the cousins together (and those in the picture are only half of what is there). And also all the aunts/uncles at the same time (two are missing too).
After Seven years of not seeing any almost, or at least like in this gathering, it is interesting too to see how everyone has grown up. Those who were kids in school once, and who were deemed too young to have a usual interaction with, are now in a different age group, though not simialr, but closer at least. Personalities changed, ambitions changed, stories changed, and I feel I remained the same, and it is difficult sometimes to realize that they did, and still look at some with the same eye I did long ago.
One thing is certain, adults stay the same, most of the time, and so their stories. If one thing chagnes, it is their bellies, LOL.
I wonder whether there will ever be a reunion that joins all in one place, that will be a blast.
