On the Road Again-2

I am currently on SLEX, nearing Binan exit. The roads are surprisingly free of any major jams today.

I remember Holy Weeks past wherein our family would go to Pangasinan to participate in processions in Alaminos. Our family's had a carosa for the Sorrowful Christ which has been with my mother's kin for 3 generations. I used to help pull the carosa every good Friday with my cousins Dino and Darby.

Being a kid, by the end of the procession, all I would want would be to chomp on an ice cream Sunday and play NES Games.

Little did I know that year after year, I was participating in a little bit of history- in general and in writing out my family's story. My family is deep in Spanish ancestry, and I am thankful that my kin's taught me to have a deep appreciation for my heritage.

Enter being in church in the province a lot as a kid for novenas, mass, etc.

My great grandpa was the mayor of the city of Alaminos in the 30s etc., ergo, my grandmothers (6 of them) always bore in mind that they needed to be prim and proper in everything they did.
My grandmother's, those who have passed and those still with us, have always been class acts, never afraid to share stories, good laughs, and words of inspiration.I love them with all my heart.

Just some thoughts from the road on this Maundy Thursday morning.
