We welcomed the approach of 2026 by closing the year together, with something we have deeply missed: being together again.
The Yusuf–Soepangat big family gathering finally happened in 2025, after the last complete gathering back in 2019.
Six years that felt incredibly long.
So many stories, so many changes, and of course… so many emotions.
Since 2019, three of our beloved family members have passed away.
They may no longer be with us physically, but they will always live in our hearts. Their prayers, memories, and laughter remain part of this gathering and every one after.
At the same time, time has brought us beautiful gifts.
In 2025, our family grew—new sons- and daughters-in-law, and new grandchildren joined us, bringing louder laughter, tiny footsteps, and fresh hope. A reminder that life continues, even when longing never truly fades.
This gathering was more than just photos.
It was about a bond that remains strong, despite distance, time, and loss. About returning to a place that always accepts us as we are: family.
As we close the year, we are filled with gratitude for the moments we shared, the people still with us, and those who remain forever in our hearts.
Thank you for every laugh, every hug, and every small moment that felt so big.
And special thanks to
@aportoby.ad for beautifully capturing these joyful moments.
Until the next gathering.
Hopefully, not too far away ❤️❤️❤️
