My sister Chitchi and her son David's flight arrived around 4AM the morning of Sept. 18th. They were at the house by 5:30 and had to duck into the bedroom until Mom and Dad woke up. Chitchi had to trick Mom by calling her on her cell phone in order for Mom to come out. When they finally saw each other, Mom apparently ran back to the room as a reflex. Hilarious.
Dad on the other hand came out a couple of minutes later and walked straight to the breakfast table. He noted David to sit there and momentarily thought why David was there given that he lives in San Francisco. Chitchi put her newspaper down to reveal herself to which Dad finally realized that they were both there.
My turn -
My plane arrived at 10AM the same day and Manny came to get me. Eline called us to notify me that when we arrive at the house to not walk in yet until called. It was lunchtime when we arrived at the house so I had to wait outside the front door while they were all seated at the dining table. Dad stated that it would be nice if I could make his party since it would be the only time all of his children would be in one place. That's when Eline said that there was a box sent from the States and was about to be brought in. That was my signal. I walked in stating in a loud voice, "man, it is still hot here!" I cannot tell you how precious the look on his face was in surprise that I had returned too for his event. Mom cried.
up next.. The Party..
