Lizza came to Vancouver for a quick visit this past weekend. We got to see her for just a little over a day and we did our best to pack in as much time together as we could. Lizza and I have been close friends since the seventh grade. When her family emigrated from Manila to the US in the 80’s, we would write letters (no email back then!) to update each other on what was going on with our lives. With the advent of email and more recently, Facebook, it has become much easier to stay connected. Also, as we progressed in our careers and made more money, we were able to go on trips to see each other in person. Even quick visits like this one does wonders in nurturing a friendship.
All day Saturday, I kept telling Sophia that her “ninang” was coming to visit. Ninang means godmother in Tagalog. When Lizza arrived that evening, Sophia welcomed her by saying “nina”.
Here are some photos from our weekend with Lizza.
