Last Monday, my friend back home told me I’d been invited to the unveiling and naming of a building in honor of my father’s work at that university. I was honored and accepted the invitation, but he mentioned I’d need to prepare a short speech since I’d be one of the guests at the event. I felt a bit hesitant because I haven’t done public speaking in a long time, but I knew I needed to get ready for it. When my wife heard the news, she decided to come along and attend the occasion, even taking a short leave from work. My son also chose to join us and tag along for the trip.

It is indeed such an honor and I'm glad you have turned it into a family trip.

@toniganzon Me and my family are the only ones who will represent us there. Most of his siblings are abroad already and do not reside here anymore.
