Thank you May 1

For the first time in approximately 2 years, we saw Papa (my husband) keeping his distance to his phone. In other words, there were no emails, texts or calls. And it was with great relief that he was able to bond and relax with us at Forest Hill Resort, Davao Philippines.

Ate Maisie has always declared her great adoration for swimming, I think this goes also for Jaden. Thus, it is no surprise that we went to a pool nearby for relaxation with ate and Jaden.

As cliche as it sounds, some good things never last and this is the hardest part. Ate Maisie is at the peak of her enjoyment, but I have to tell her that in a few minutes we have to head home. Jaden was already exhausted and in just a few minutes in the arms of her lola bing dozed off. Ate was the opposite. She claims she still has the energy to go swimming with friends, Yana and a boy whom she just met in the pool area. It took a lot of goading and crying on her part to convince me that she can continue swimming on her own. I was firm however in our decision to go home.
