My family and I had a wonderful experience Saturday as we joined the Church activities to culminate the Family Week Celebration.
We enjoyed the 45-minute foot parade around the main thoroughfares of La Carlota. The band of selected pupils of La Carlota South Elementary School I led the parade.
Rebing, my wife was all smile as I took her picture while strutting along San Agustin Street just a stone-throw away from the meetinghouse.
A moment right after the morning session, I playfully laid on the well-trimmed Carabao grass lawn of the meetinghouse to wait the members of my family outside. I was surprised when my wife joined with me and laid on my lap. I was happy and elated. Then followed my youngest son, Gilbor Junior who laid on his mom's side. My youngest daughter, Geeree took her turn too after her brother.
Gingging, Bryan, my grandson arrived then we took lunch outside together with my son-in-law, Almon, his talented 8-year-old daughter, Adgel to a humble restaurant. As every member of my family ordering their fave foods, I remember those good old days with my late parents. The happy moments as we ate outside our home. Kasadya gid! Kanami Gid! [It's enjoyable. It's satisfying!]
At the end of the afternoon activities, we posed for a posterity at the Family Week backdrop. Then we had a snack in one of the fastfood kiosk inside the agora market, 500 meters from the meetinghouse. My eldest daughter who was fetched by her hubby Almon with their tryke, joined with us this time.
We're done but time was still early. Then we proceeded to the plaza to pose for a souvenir picture there.
Our day is complete. What a happy and blissful occasion indeed! Family is really important. And I know my family could be together forever. What a blissful, wonderful expectation!

ReplyDeleteSeeing you sir with your family reminded me of my dad... What a lovely family you have.
ReplyDeletei agree, family is really important so we should find time for them even we have busy schedules.
ReplyDeleteFamily is our first ministry. It's good to hear that there are still many fathers who really take time to bond with their family. Nowadays kasi, as to my observation, nawawala na ang family day :(
ReplyDeletei grew up very close to my mom,dad and my siblings. close family ties is very important to me :)
ReplyDeletei am happy to see families like yours who do bonding moments, really a wonderful moment!
