I and my wife just came back from attending my son Joseph's wedding and reception. The wedding was at the Luke Air Force Base, Arizona, white chapel and the reception was at the enlisted club.

Relatives from both sides attended. My parents, siblings and spouses, and nieces and nephews drove up from Coolidge to attend. More than 100 people showed up and there were even more that didn't make it.

The wedding was the primary reason for coming back to Phoenix, if only for two weeks. Now that it's over, I can't wait to return to the Philippines. I have no home here anymore.
