In this video, Kate and I had the opportunity to sit down with her parents and ask them what it’s like having an Indonesian son-in-law. They address questions like: what was your first impression of me, how did you feel when you found out that Kate was dating someone from Indonesia, and what is it like having me in the family now? It was really great hearing their perspective and insight! I was equally surprised and encouraged to see how open they were in accepting me for who I was, regardless of my cultural background. I never imagined having more family on the other side of the world!
Di video ini, Kate dan saya mendapatkan kesempatan untuk duduk and mewawancarai orang tuanya dan bertanya bagaimana rasanya mendapatkan anak menantu orang Indonesia. Mereka menjawab pertanyaan seperti bagaimana reaksinya ketika tahu bahwa Kate sedang berpacaran dengan orang Indonesia. Bagaimana rasanya memiliki saya sebagai bagian dari keluarga mereka. Sungguh menyenangkan mengetahui perspektif mereka. Saya tidak menyangka dan senang melihat betapa mereka menyambut saya dengan tangan yang sangat terbuka, tanpa memandang latar belakang budaya saya. Tidak pernah terbayang mempunyai keluarga di belahan dunia yang berbeda.
