It Is, What To Me Is More Important, How Father And Son Become Friends



the tall old man with thick glasses
last night made a call
telling me that after 57 years he
has learned the value of travel
when he gifted his son with an
escapade in Vigan
after his much awaited college
graduation

it is good news that they have new
words learned: heritage houses,
vigan spanish chorizos, horse carriages,
ilocano earthen jars,
some spices of life some
hot places to remember like sahara desert
and old haunted hotels....

it is, what to me is more important,
how father and son become friends
after years of being strangers to each other
how this country can be more beautiful again
when to love you are also being loved in
return....
