It was difficult for me to start blogging again after Sonny died. It just felt wrong to delve on trivial things when something THAT major happens. But just as we allow ourselves to grieve, we must also celebrate life.
Migo went home to the Philippines to be the major "gift" that we will give to my parents on their 50th wedding anniversary. Migo, their first grandchild and need I say, their all time favorite?? My parents only knew that my gift is an overnight stay at a hotel. Little did they know that shortly after they got to the hotel, Migo will come a-knocking on their door! Everything went as planned. Ira opened the door and for a few seconds, Papa and Mama had to dig into their memory bank to see why the man at the door looked familiar.

I was not there but I know how they felt. I called when excitement leveled off and all we got to say was "I love you". Can you imagine saying that and feeling the exhiliration of knowing that they HEAR it and FEEL it? Made me want to shout - GOD is so good!!
Here are some of the pictures. But I know they do not do justice to the exquisite happiness that flowed in that hotel room that day.
Looking at them, my first thoughts were - My! It has been a long time! Si Cynthia ba yun? Laki na ni Lara! I miss Ma and Pa! Uy, suot na nila ang mga padala namin!
