More about my Mom... we took this picture about an hour ago, as we headed out to the airport. This is an Ang Kiukok portrait of my mom, my dad’s last birthday gift to her before Martial Law was declared. Hiningi ko because it was done right after i was born. My Mom almost didn’t make it giving birth to me, she needed an emergency caesarean because of placenta previa (google nyo na lang, please) and hemorrhaged so badly that her blood pressure reached 0/0. She would always relay that when she regained consciousness she heard doctors saying, “gumanda nang lagay, 60/40 na ang BP” and all she could wonder was how bad was it para maging mabuti ang 60/40? We came first, there was never any doubt. Marami akong life & death situations na pwedeng ma share na patunay that my Mom refused to be brought to safety without me. Masyadong mahaba for this post, it will wait for my book? But she ingrained that in me. Especially because kuya josh & bimb only have me, in the way from 1972 to 1980, and from 1983 to 2009 i only had her- i know that most have told me, marami na kaming pera, mag relax na ko. Sana maintindihan ninyo, my Mom said- kuya will always have special needs & he should be very secure financially (hindi na kailangan i-detalye na mag-isa ko syang napalaki) and as much as i know Bimb will be a loving & responsible brother, hindi ko hawak ang puso ng magiging misis nya. The 1 thing i promised my Mom, na super natutupad- never ma-aagrabyado si kuya. May i thank you? Every time you show kuya josh LOVE & COMPASSION, you make his lola Cory smile in heaven. At hindi ako napapahiya sa pinangako ko. 💛

Kuya Josh has 2 songs of tito willie on repeat mode: Ikaw Na Nga and Kung Para sa ‘Yo. ate natchie took these videos of the 2 walking hand in hand this morning so i’d see kuya’s happiness. the material generosity from willie is much appreciated, pero ito po yung nagpatunaw sa puso ko bilang mama ni kuya josh, dahil ang super favorite nyang si tito willie— binigyan sya ng buong umagang bonding... sabay sila nag breakfast, nag walking, and nag swimming... it brings to mind this Maya Angelou quote: PEOPLE WILL FORGET WHAT YOU SAID, PEOPLE WILL FORGET WHAT YOU DID, BUT PEOPLE WILL NEVER FORGET HOW YOU MADE THEM FEEL. ngayon na uncertain ang panahon, lahat tayo may dalang kaba sa ating mga puso, seeing my panganay’s smile made me realize, when given the chance- let’s choose to love, choose to share, and choose to be kind. 🤍🤍🤍

mahaba pa ang laban, pero hindi masamang magpasalamat. 1st time na kaming 3 lang, kuya josh, bimb, and me... naghanap ng mga kaibigan dito and thank God Alvin & Rochelle found us some of the kindest people. I praise God, the pediatrician, Dr delos Reyes checked bimb again- upper respiratory infection & bronchial asthma. No pneumonia, no fever, pero matamlay kasi maraming gamot na iniinom. Tinutulungan ako ni Check & Randy (from willie), ni ate Loida & her family, ni nurse Mona, and the very kindhearted Mayor of Puerto Galera, Mayor Rocky Ilagan. Maraming salamat sa staff ng resort na tinutuluyan namin (i’ll name the place & share pics pag okay na). And thank you sa mga taga Mercury na tumutulong talaga para mahanap ang maintenance na gamot ko. Sobrang mabait & welcoming ng mga taga Puerto Galera- sa lockdown na ito they have made us feel secure, welcomed & cared for. God bless you all. I pray for all our healthcare workers. Many have become my close friends & i salute their heroic efforts. Romans 8:NIV [28] And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.
