We headed to Makati early so that we could visit some relatives before we went our separate ways for lunch. I was meeting my former boss, MacGyver was meeting one of his KC brothers, and the boys were off on their own adventure (GI wanted to introduce RD to the fish tacos at El Chupacabra).
We went to Aries first but my uncle had been rushed to the hospital the night before so my aunt was not her usual picture ready self. It was quick hello and goodbye.
We headed over to Libra to say hello to my cousins and my aunt. No picture with my dentist cousin because he was with a patient when we passed by.
Then we went to the next village to see my other aunt at Saturn. We could tell she was extremely happy to have visitors. If we did not have lunch commitments, am sure she would have wanted us to stay longer.
When we finished our rounds, GI commented that he now appreciated the effort we had made by visiting the grandparents every weekend while they were young. (We would make the weekly trip to Quezon City from Makati when we still in the Philippines.) I think GI could see what a wonderful opportunity these visits were to reconnect, and perhaps he really got to feel the sense of joy our dropping by had brought to our relatives.
