Wedding anniversary

Today we've completed 2 years of married life. We want to thank God for being with us. We viewed some anniversary quotes, the following were interesting ones:

A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.
Mignon McLaughlin

No matter how much cats fight, there always seem to be plenty of kittens.
Abraham Lincoln

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

Simasa's aunt

Photo: Aunt with her sons, Lonusi (her right) and Adi (on left). The boy is her grandson.

Simasa’s mom died when she was 2 or 3 old. Because of this she doesn’t remember her mom at all. Neither she knows her mother’s family, since all of them live in Myanmar. With her mother passing, all family ties lost.

Out of the blue, last week my friend told her mother’s elder sister is still alive. She is living in Thailand. Surprised, we weren’t sure how true this news was.

But we got the contact number. And last night she could talk with her for the first time in life! That confirmed that she was the real aunt.

The last time this aunt met Simasa’s mother about 45 years ago (when Simasa’s first sister was born). Now she lives with her two sons. One is married and other one has just graduated. Strangely, I have met the elder son when I went to Thailand in 2008!
