--Family's greatest victory

My youngest sister is officially a registered nurse. She passed the nursing board exam she took last July and results came out last Friday.It was one of the greatest fulfillment I'm sure my parents have felt of course besides our college diplomas. He wasn't here to celebrate with us. All of my siblings except the eldest plus my mom and the nieces and and nephews were there. We savored the moment over simple meal. I completed the rest of the menu, we had barbecue, shrimp and crabs, pasta, buttered corn and peas, roasted fish,the local lumpiang sariwa, chocolate cake and double dutch ice cream .I forgot my diet for awhile. I felt that it's a one day violation of my calorie count and enjoy what's served on the table.
