a call from a thousand miles away

I just got off of the phone with my my mom and my dad from the motherland. they have been in Pinas for about 3 weeks now and they are having a good time even though the visit was because my grandma has passed away, the outcome is a positive one because my dad hasn't seen his side of the family for mannnny years. The last time they flew back in time was more than 20 years ago. Most of my mom side are on the island of oahu of hawaii and we are gonna have a reunion for that side of that family sometime in august. Just a reminder. Family comes first...
