US of A, here they come!
Just came from the airport this afternoon after picking up the parents from their flight from Manila. They just came from the US embassy for their appearance for their visa application. Thank God that they were granted a visa for their trip come June 21. Actually, as soon as they got word on the status of their application, they immediately sent a text message yesterday so I knew of the news fast.
They will be heading there for an international convention of their church outreach group for married couples, the Worldwide Marriage Encounter, i dunno if you heard of that group.
They have been quite active in that apostolate of theirs. Come to think of it, their involvement in that group had quite an impact on our family life.
Let me just explain how. You see, before their involvement on that organization, there used to be 4 of us, composed of 3 boys, and then the only girl. For a while there, they decided that it would be a period for them as 4 children would be enough. The gaps in years of the 4 children was 2 years for the first 3 children, and then 3 years for the only girl. After their involvement (our sister was already 5 years old by then), we had brother number five, and just 11 months after that, we had our bunso (our youngest). LoL. I often hear them jokingly say that the last 2 were the result of overflowing love.
Anyway, we have had quite a journey with our family.
If you ask me, I would always tell you, “The more the merrier.”
And oh, regarding that US trip, I’ll be eagerly awaiting the pasalubong.
