Last March 17 was my dad’s 58th death anniversary. He died in a plane crash with President Ramon Magsaysay. Yesterday, March 28, was his 100th birthday. My nine sibs and I decided to come out with a limited-edition book for families and friends with our own take on what Dad meant to each of us. Here is my personal account.

My youthful mom, Sonia Reyes Mayor, turns 75 today. She has always been her parents’ gem, her husband’s rock and her children’s paragon.

But Dad was smiling in that photo, taken during a wedding reception, those occasions in five-star hotels when photographers would later sell you instant photos framed by a wine glass. It was a good year for Dad. I wanted to remember him like that, smiling.

                    [Summary] => 
Anaheim, California — It was a homecoming like no other. I was going “home” to the city my parents Frank and Sonia Mayor called home for almost two decades, and which I called home for a few cherished vacations. You know how your parents’ home is HOME, how its very scent (my mom’s home was of gardenia and lilac potpourri) evokes “comfort” memories?
