The Visit

I awoke this morning and then grasp for my cane to start a new day and then suddenly a thought flashed across my mind to a day 50 years ago when I could lap over a tall building in a single leap, ah yes those were the days. Yesterday my wife’s oldest sister Mrs. McGoo arrived from General Santo along with her husband Roger, her daughter Young-Young and three of her friends. After such a long and tiring ferry trip from Mindanao Mrs. McGoo and the others rested at “Mama’s” house for coming out here to visit us. Her husband Roger stayed behind to catch up his beauty rest. As always Beng’s sister is full of nervous energy and a delight to see. She said she wanted to see me but personally I think she was curious to take a look at “the big house.” After all the ahs and oooohs we visited for a few hours…
