Travels with My Grandfather

wonder | wander | women have so many fond memories of traveling with family. My aunts and uncles are seasoned travelers and we loved tagging along with grandparents on trips to Europe, the US, Asia, and all over the Philippines.

My grandfather was especially photogenic, a sporty but snappy dresser with great posture and a dashing attitude. I loved photographing him and my grandmother as they were taking a stroll or a relaxing break in some of the world's prettiest places.

We mourn the passing of our beloved patriarch. Five months after his 100th birthday he left us in a blaze of grace and glory. We all believed he would be with us forever.

He lives on in all our fond memories. He was lovable and so easy to love. A man of a few choice words - he signaled across with raised eyebrows, a sly wink, and blown kisses.

We will miss you, Papa. Safe and splendid travels.
