On the brighter side of things

I got to spend time with my sisters, all four hours among ourselves.

And I had my mom sleep with us here in Manila. It felt like being young all over again. Mom's looking after my things, preparing meals at the exact same place where we used to live, I grew up, and gained perspective.

I guess I don''t have much to feel sad for, since I got what I wanted for my birthday. Time with my sisters and mom. I pictured a more special; more grand meal to share among ourselves though, but it was good enough as it is-was.

I felt sad though when my mom handed me money as a birthday present. It wasn't really enough to treat my friends, heck, my weekly allowance is even bigger. I guess that showed how much she really knew me, and I love her now more than ever.

As they travel back to Lucena, my heart goes with them. On this special day, having my family with me makes it unforgettable. alongside with the greetings from my friends, how can I ask for more?

Thank you Lord for another year of blessing, joys, abundance and guidance. Thank you for my family and friends. Thank you for the gift of life.

I love You! =)
