As it usually goes, I was asked several times by different family members whether I have a girlfriend. And as always, the answer has been a confident "No". Then, they ask why and that I should find one quickly before I get old. I respond I don't think I've met the right person since so many people have told me I would "know" when I do meet her. And I'm not getting old!
But the pressure is on! My parents are pushing my brother to get married soon.
But there was one obvious signal that they are ready to become grandparents. I previously wrote about how my parents had come around the idea of having a dog. But since my sister moved to Cambodia, the dog is no longer at my parents' place. While on Google Hangouts with my sister, my parents were extremely excited to see Dimple, maybe even more anxious to see the dog than my sister. In my mind, the dog is the only substitute that my parents have for grandchildren. It's so joyful to see my parents in a different light I have never seen before.
Thankfully I'm the youngest and there is barely any pressure on my to produce child. It was make my parents proud just to introduce a lady friend to them.
