What a Day! Joe's 16th


I've had him for 5836 mornings, if we credit four leap years.

This is the day itself... April 11. Oh, I love the day that the Lord gave me Joe. He was the first one I gave birth to in Baguio. It wasn't a pleasant experience. But aren't prophets born that way...

He's been an obedient and ever-reliable son, a friend, a loving companion, a comedian, a confidant. Thanks Joe for being a gift to me.

    Wow! Your children are all grown up! Can't imagine what my kids will be in that age. Both you and Jojo look young. You are like a big sister and Jojo a big brother! Sana kami din ganyan when that time comes.

    What good looking children! Jenny looks exactly like you so I had to do a double take. But she does have a little of her dad too.
