Happy days when you have your family around and eating home cooked meals. This is one of many gatherings.  I miss it and I am looking forward to going back to Camiguin for an overdue visit to my parents house and see where they are buried alongside with all the other family members that has left us.  It will also the first time that I have been back (last time was when I was 17 yrs) and also for my husband to visit this Island paradise that I’ve told him about and showed him pictures.
