My family and I now have to move to another country due to a major catastrophe. I am delighted that my family is still with me because they are my heart and soul. I was told that I can only take three small items along with one change of clothes. The three items I chose to take with me is my cell phone, my charger and my iPad mini for son. I chose these items because I will be able to talk to my family members who survived the catastrophe and were sent to other countries and because my two year old son is attached to my iPad and I always want to make my son happy.
If I arrived to the country and I was told that I had to give up two of the items and could only keep one, I would give up my charger and cell phone because my son is the most important thing and taking his iPad would hurt him deeply. The good thing about his iPad is we are able to face time family members, talk to them when the talk app, watch movies, listen to music, play games, and look at memorable pictures of our family.
This topic has giving a different view on life. Before my son, I was self centered and didn't care about any one else, but as I look at the previous two paragraphs, I see that my son is very important to me. My son is my world and I would do anything for him. I am a family person and my family mean everything to me so being able to communicate with them means the world to me. My great grandmother made sure that her children, grand children, great grand children and great great grand children were close so my family culture is to be a tight knit family.
Hi Ashley
ReplyDeleteI think it is important to make your children happy also, I have a three year old daughter and if I could only keep one item that would make her happy I would do the same thing. Thanks for sharing!!

Ashley,
ReplyDeleteIt was a pleasure reading about your family culture. Technology is a great gift because it enables us to communicate with other people that are hours away. I too stated that I would give up my personal items so that my daughters could keep their "lovies". I want them to be happy and that comfort item would enable them to have some sense of consistency in all of the turmoil of having to move to a strange place.
