Litrato: on saying goodbye…
These are a few of the last photos amongst hundreds during the past 3 weeks spent with my entire family who visited us from Manila and Canada…
[Ilan sa mga huling larawan ng aking pamilya noong nakaraang linggo, araw na sila ay pabalik na ng Maynila at Canada...]

Ironic how the joy of those days instantly collapsed as we all said our goodbyes… and as I try uploading photos up to this very minute…I just can’t help but feel the pain of not being with them anymore. Tears just kept welling up…my fear exactly before i start posting about this….

The day i was supposed to bring them to the airport myself, I decided otherwise. Apart from the fact that we all won’t fit in the car, I felt I cannot handle it if I did…and for safety reasons as well, i think it was a wise decision. That would have been more difficult than drunk driving…crying while driving, right?

The kids and myself will miss our sweet and bright Mico most…
[Paumanhin at hindi ko na ito matatagalog lahat...]

This on the other hand, was taken last friday just before my brother’s and sister-in-law’s flight back to Canada…They left 2 days earlier as we also celebrated my daughter S’s advance birthday which is coming up next week…

My SIL who was THE cake-buyer [remember we had 3 birthdays, add to that S's = 4 in all inclusive of this visit], just had to buy this one last cake for her together with the balloons, before she leaves…

more photos of the past[i hope you can view them by clicking on the badge]…I may be in pain now but I know…someday…one day…
my brother promised next year, my sister said in the year 2010…and i say why? why does it have to end this way? Don’t you just hate goodbyes?

naiiyak tuloy ako…alam ko ang pakiramdam ng panahong napakasaya dahil muling nagkasamasama. ngunit kung dumating na ang sandaling kailangan ng mamaalam…napakalungkot talaga.
di na ata nasanay ang aking mga anak sa ganitong sitwasyon…laging una silang umiiyak. ang sakit sa dibdib naming mag-asawa na ihiwalay sila muli sa kanilang mga mahal na kamag-anak.
advance happy birthday kay S.

Kakaiyak naman ito Ces.
Totoo yan, saying goodbye is one of the hardest things to do. hay, napabuntong hininga tuloy ako.
At least you have fond memories to cherish di ba?

I know exactly how you feel. It would be so nice to have all your family nearby all the time, but it’s just not that way anymore. *hugs*
