remembrances...

our memorial day was about remembering our dad's. felix's dad passed away two years ago and my dad passed away 12 years ago. they would have loved playing with their grandkids. we'll have lots of stories to tell of their yeye and amang.

our day started out with a breakfast at ihop with the chan's. it was nice, asher had his first taste of pancakes with butter, nothing else. saving the sweets for his birthday cake =). he wasn't in such a great and accommodating mood because it all happen to fall around his nap time. so you know mr. man was cranky. afterwards we headed to the cemetery to visit yeye. it was asher's first visit where he was awake.

then we headed to the other cemetery across town to visit amang. along the way i was remembering dad's expressions...be careless...best in the west...anak ti salit (don't ask, i don't know, i just knew we were in trouble whenever dad said that). i do miss my dad, he was so much fun, and he would have had a great time with asher and mateo. he would have taught them to make mischief just to get back at us for when we made mischief with them. tell them stories of the philippines, growing up, and what we were like as kids. he would have spoiled them rotten and loved them to bits.
