Here's what Independence Day and "freedom" is to me this year.
"Freedom" is:
- Spending time in office when the world and its cousin are making pancakes/paatoyos at home
- Explaining to kids why a newspaper press is exempt from being off on a public holiday, in kiddie language
- Skipping lunch, which includes the Mom's most awesome beef roast ever
- Missing the youngest cousin's birthday
- Playing host to the unpleasant visitor called regret
A Happy Independence Day indeed.
