On April 7, 1972, my dad and mom got married. I’ve decided to go down memory lane and share with you an excerpt of what I’m giving them for their anniversary—our Top 40 Family Moments. Our family is not perfect but God is so faithful!
1. How Papa and Mama met—The stories about the handkerchief, interview and list of requirements are classics in our family.
2. Their wedding reception at the Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai. Papa was wondering why his three kids didn’t show up. Now he wants to have another reception just for our family.
3. Their firstborn
4. Their second son
5. Their only daughter
6. Memories of the Paco house, memories of Baguio trips (tea and boiled eggs for the road, picture or real, counting cows, champuy, Park Hotel, corn soup, Burnham park) and Mama’s trip with the kids to India (my chin, ouch!)
7. Growing up with our neighbors in our Valle 1 house and Bhaoo’s maasti with the neighbors; getting locked up in Green Valley and memories Valle Verde Country Club (swimming, tennis, barbecue, iced tea), racing with Nato and Greg to La Salle and then having lunch sent to school every day; Big Daddy and Big Mummy; our cousins (Bhaoo’s maasti with Priya, Aarti, Gopal, and especially Govind)
8. Mama’s trip to India with Bhaya and me, and then Hong Kong with us kids (overweight bags, trains, buses, not having enough money to pay for a cab to get back to the hotel, buying Tags, Cole Haans and Giordano stuff)
9. The weddings (two) and the grandchildren (four)
10. Trips to America, India, Hong Kong, Singapore and stints in America
I love my family and I see God’s faithfulness over us every single day :-)
And there are lots more memories to make. The best is yet to come!
Happy anniversary, Papa and Mama! I love you :-)
