Whatever Comes To My Mind

Mama did not come with them to pick us up at the airport. After the hugging and introducing at the airport, I was so anxious to keep going so that we could go home and see mama. We immediately got a yellow cab to take us home.

In the cab, Resty and Ging-ging were trying to make Frankie comfortable with them. Papa was in the front seat while Resty and Ging-ging were with us in the back seat. Manoy Gayfred and Nonong Tonette took the motorcycle home. I looked around. Everything seems so different. The SRP is now finished. I remember in 2003 when it wasn’t half way done then in 2004 when Ryan and I came home, they were getting there. Some places looked so run down while others looks so new.

I didn’t know what to expect on our way home. The way to our house had truly changed. There were a lot of houses this time and one will easily get lost if one doesn’t know the way around. It was too dark too that I asked my sister to carry Frankie. When we finally got to our house, I opened the gate and mama had the biggest smile on her face. She yelled hello to Frankie and Frankie just looked at her. I gave her a hug and had tears in my eyes. She invited us in and asked us how our trip was. We talked for a little bit and insisted that we should get something to eat. I asked her to cook my favorite food, and she did and told me that it has been waiting for us in the kitchen.

A few minutes later, my two brothers arrived. We talked about a lot of things but mostly trying to get Frankie’s attention. People were all over him, I should say. We were all exhausted but it didn’t bother us because we were all just so happy to see each other. Here are the pictures below. Can you tell?
