Had dinner with mum the other night at our nearby shopping mall. It’s really great that my mum stays near me! We can always meet up for impromptu meals!
Are you a single who is no longer staying with your parents? Or married and now starting your own family? How do you keep in touch and constant contact with your parents? I thought I share some of the ways I stay connected to mummy dearest.
- I think living in the same neighbourhood helps a huge deal. Being near is always best.
- Once in two weeks, we pop by her place to swim. Just being physically present makes a difference.
- We go to the same church and now she attends my cg so there are more occasions that we attend together! And these social settings let me see my mum in a whole new light! I remember once we went to the museum after lunch fellowship. Everyone was tired and resting their feet after going through all the exhibits and my mum did not even complain one bit. She had boundless energy! And seeing her easy rapport and animated chit-chat with the members makes me so happy. I must thank my members for being so open to her, especially Merlyn for being so caring!
- I make it a point to call her every day even if just to ask her how’s her day, has she had dinner, what’s she doing now. Sometimes we have a conference call together with my sis, it’s kinda fun actually!!
- Now that she has gotten herself an iPhone 4 (with a really rocking cover!!!), we Whatsapp too!
- We meet up for dinner every two weeks and spend longer quality time during these dinners.
How about you? Have you spent time with your parents lately? How do you keep in constant contact with them?
