This morning I notice I had a missed call from my Inay. I thought maybe she already received the package I sent her. If that is true, then it arrived just in time for her birthday. I was about to dial her number when I suddenly realized that we are 8 hours apart. She must still be sleeping at the time.
So I decided to call her at around 2:30pm, 6:30 am London time.
1:30pm my phone rang. It was Inay and I answered quickly by blurting, "Happy birthday po Inay!". True enough the package arrived and she was very happy. She kept saying thank you. I asked her why she was up so early. She said she is preparing some pancit for their group's morning coffee. The residents of Pickering House always gather every Wednesday morning for coffee/tea. Its one of their social activities and since she said they know that today is her birthday, she decided to prepare something more than coffee and sandwiches.
My Inay is now 68.
Happy birthday Inay!
I wish you a longer life, many more birthdays to come.
I love you.
