my most memorable day in 2010 :(

One of the most memorable days in 2010 for me was during February or March, I had found out that I would be moving soon! Now this as to anyone would come as a surprise as it did to me. They told me they bought a nice house in Oliver with a big orchard. I didn’t know how to react to that big change. The only thing I could think of was being away from my Aunt and Uncle. I had lived in the house I live in now since I was about 3 months old, and that was all I knew. Leaving my home would be the most devastating thing that could have ever happened to me. I had grown up in this house and never thought that I’d ever have to leave it.  The first thing I said when my mom and dad told me was “ I'M NOT MOVING!”  For the first few nights afterwards I cried  my eyes out. I mean come on, what would you do when someone snatches something away from you that you’ve loved so much.  I still tell them that I’m not moving but I know I’ll have to when the time comes. Although I  have not moved yet, I’ll have to by the end of March with my family and start a new beginning. I still dread the thought of ever leaving this place but its going to happen soon. That’s my most memorable memory of 2010. Its not the memory I’d like to have experienced but it was a life changing… literally.
My new house.

Family

There are 5 people in my family. My sister Rajneet, my younger brother Navraj, my father Nirmal, my mother Rajinder, and me. In my household there are usually 10 people.There is my full family, my amazing aunt Sukhwinder, my helpful uncle Shamsher,  my cousin Roopjeet, her brother Balraj, the middle child Parmvir, my grandpa Mall Singh and my lovable Grandma, Balvir Kaur. Even though they are not my immediate family, I have lived with them since I was born, and have become my only family. In my family I fall in the middle. I am In middle child of 3. My grandparents alternate from India to Canada every 8 or so months. Right now my grandma is here and my grandpa is in India. I would like to have him here but he’s enjoying the time he has there with our other family.



In my family there are lots of people, so there’s lots of love to spread around. On March 25th we had found out that there would be a new addition to our family. His name is Gurthahj, and hes the most wonderful child I’ve ever met. Hes not here with us because hes vacationing over in India with his parents, but we get to Skye with him every so often. Now hes 11 and a half months old and as joyful as one can be. His parents Param Brar, and Lakhwinder Brar live in Kelowna with him. Although they live in Kelowna and we don’t get to see him much but when we do we all fight like a pack of dogs over him. We taught him how to say his first words.. Its was “HOT!” the way he said it was just so breathtaking and I had never heard such a beautiful sound. I love the way he laughs when we play peek-a-boo, and the way he thrives to explore the world around himself. I love him so much and just can`t wait to see him again.
