It seems like dinner has lost its touch. In the last couple of years, I’ve noticed that dinner: dinner time, the preparation of the meal, and the way it brought families together, has fallen apart. It’s a terrible site and something I hope will change in the future that lays ahead.
Coming from a big family, I have seen this happen time and time again. My family is no exception. I come a family of six and I know first hand how it feels to have everyone at home. The house is a mess, there’s a lot of yelling, but there’s happiness. In this mountain of chaos there is love and kindness. There is always someone to talk to and always someone to fight with. In every way, it brings life to the home as brother, sister, mothers, and fathers learn to live as the grow and learn about life.
Dinner in my family used to be the essence point of this incident. In the past, dinner gave my family the chance to reconnect after a long day. However, times have changed and family members started to fade away. We grew apart and fell into our own departments: killing the energy that once brought to our home.
However, not all is lost as holidays reunite and the table is once again populated with ideal conversations and loving hearts in search of that energy that bring life to every home. I just hope that future that lays ahead still has room for rituals like this.
