And to say the least, it’s one of the most inconvenient travels I’ve had on the way back. I love going to places but I’m not so fond of “tripping” (while taking the trip, that is) due to motion sickness. Plus, having a baby on travel (four months at that) is more hassle than pleasure. Haha! Of course, as a mother, I’m not supposed to say that. To tame that statement, anyway, I’ll just say it doesn’t delight one to see her son being inconvenienced when she herself is having the queasy feeling inside.
I was texting Karl all the time of our plight but he is just not one to drop everything to rescue you. Paet. Dili sya kalupad or kalangoy just to be where we are. Besides, I insisted on going home on such a short notice after a nagging request from my side of the family.
But on the other hand, here are some good reasons why you should visit your kid’s lolos and lolas as often as you can:
- Grannies know better than mother’s best.
- Seeing the smiles on their (grannies’) faces is priceless. They’re more excited to see their apo than parents are.
- Nothing can be cuter than lolo-apo or lola-apo tandem.
- Parents, especially first time ones, commit the mistake of handling the baby in an awkward manner.
- Isn’t it an established fact that grannies spoil apos more than parents do of their kids?
- Your kid will love the fresh air back at grandparents’ hometown.
- They (the whole family) just looove your baby! And it’s nourishment to both parents and baby’s souls.
- An arrival of apo in the family tends to elicit fuller and more meaningful relationships between parents and grandparents.
- You can take a night or nights off without worrying whether the baby is in good hands.
- They’re family, and that makes it the most natural thing to do.
Azir (that's what he's called by my side of the family) and his Tita... pure delight! 
Sisters.. missing you always!
