Apparently, I skipped sharing the great events of our 2016.

After flying back and forth to the Philippines, we also went to Japan! And that was really fun.

Above is Celine at the Meiji Shrine entrance.

I’ll be blogging about that.

And on top of that, the beautiful Davao wedding of our good friends, Luis and Princess. That was also Celine’s first flower girl gig.

Then, Cece and I in Ilocos for another wedding of my good friends, Noriel and Trina, plus exploring the north with all my good friends from the States.

And Christmas in the Philippines with the family!

What a year!

I can’t believe you’re gone.
I never thought it will happen too soon.. to me, to us, to our family.
All the wisdom, love and care you’ve shown us,
That no one else can compare.

They say when you lose a Mom,
it will never be the same.
Now I know why they say so.
The pain I feel, nothing else can compare.

I can only cry and whisper I miss you.
I have to live with the fact, that I will never get to hug you.
Mommy, I want you to know that
Everyday, I miss you.

It’s amazing how lucky I am to have a daughter like mine.

She is sweet.
She is funny.
And she’s just 19 months old.

Whenever I am down, this little girls smile gives me incredible strength.
She inspires me and makes me a better person.
Being a mother has changed me. And I love what I see.

Amazing how one little person can give me so much love, strength and inspiration.

I love you, anak.❤️
