Anything else nostalgic and sad how family reunions are getting smaller during the holidays?

Hey guys. New here.

But just had a family reunion and though it is bigger than previous years, it is nothing compared to 2006 where everyone was here(mom’s side).

I guess it is normal, people end up with their own lives/families or just become busy or prefer to be with others.

I completely understand but also a bit sad when a lot cannot visit family gatherings for years. Just nostalgic about when everyone was younger and closer.

Anyone else feel the same way?
