Reunion

Today's the big day. No, I'm not referring to the first post after over two months of inactivity in this journal. This day is important because today is the day I finally see my father again after 9 years, I think. I can't remember the last time we saw each other.

So. With Mitch heavy with child and me short on sleep later today, we'll travel north to see my dad at grandma's place in Tarlac. Yay me? My emotions are kinda conflicting right now. I'm excited 'coz I'm seeing my father here. I'm anxious 'coz I'm worried what he'd think of me with fathering a child out of wedlock.

But then again, he can't be in the position to judge. I was born out of wedlock. So I guess I'm kinda carryiing on a tradition he started. Anyways, I guess it isn't as important as the fact that the latest carrier of the family name is on the way. I hope he's happy.

Today, or maybe it's more accurate to say tonight, I also get to see my young step-sister and her mom. I must say, it's good that my father finally gets the chance to actually be a father. We can compare notes as out own kids grow up, I suppose.

So. In the meantime I got hours to kill. I'm supposed to get Bryce's sepia photos from SM Marikina. Man. The trip alone drains me of what will I have left in me. This is promising to be a long, long day.
