Welcome Home
My niece Kim and her younger brother Jon will arrive at the NAIA airport at 11:00pm tonight on board Northwest. Will fetch them from there and transport them with their bagages to Centennial Airport for their 5:00am flight to Iloilo early next day. It's been over three years that they left the country with their mom who got a nice job as registered nurse in the University Hospital in Augusta, Georgia. They left as highschool kids and will be returning as nursing students, joining their two cousins from my eldest sister and my brother as the next wave of nurses in the family tree. I only wish their lolo who sent them off crying is still alive to welcome them back.
