No absence,The whole family went to a restaurant nearby to celebrate for this day. The place was large enough and bright.The food was good and in abundance.But my most favourite time is the talking time.As it is some tradition the family all abide,everytime after the birthday dinner we talked for some hours.Oh not "we",actually,most of the time i was listening.When grandpa,my uncles or my dad they talked about the history of the family or the hard time of their past,i was absorbed and felt like it's my own experience.Some friends of mine even knew little about how their family came to today.I say, they have lost a lot.Life is a river but not a burning flame (I have no word to give out so filled this HARD sentence in.).
( New word in the post i learned today:abundance abide absorb)
