For Mother's Day '09, we spent time with Jason's mom, Jessie Robinson, and then we went to Anty Lota's house to visit with the family. My grandmother just came back on Tuesday from a 4 month trip to the Philippines, so everyone wanted to see her and hear stories of her trip. She took an extended stay there because her mom (my great grandma, Lelang Elena) turned 103 on May 7th. Yes she's old, her eye sight is going bad, it's harder for her to get around, and she has trouble hearing, but she's still going strong. The officials of the Philippines honored her with an award on her birthday this year. In the first picture is 4 generations of me and my family and in the second picture is of Lelang receiving her reward. Even though we are only separated by the Pacific Ocean, I think of her sitting beside us in the first photo, making us a united 5 generations.
