Happy birthday, Mamila!

-
You raised the best man to be my husband and prayer warrior for life, and you embraced me from the moment we met - figuratively AND literally!

You've been a mother to me ever since: unconditional in love, faithful in prayers, and steady in guidance. Now you've been promoted to grandmother to my own little girl! I can't ask for anything more than many more years of basking in the presence of your warm smiles, and listening to your heart-soothing singing as you go about your day.

I miss you. I love you. Higit sa lahat, thank you — for EVERYTHING.

Touching the gate: Returning to a place that still remembers me

-

Memory has a way of wrapping around you when you least expect it – especially when you return to the places that shaped you. Nearly five years have passed since I last visited the town where I was born and raised – a quiet pocket on the outskirts of Fujairah, UAE; home to so many of my earliest memories.  My parents left in 2021 for the Philippines, after more than 40 years of working and raising a family as some of Dibba's first expats. Most of those who made it home have moved on too – to new places, new homes, new chapters. Only memories remain.  I told myself that squashing my kids into a car for the long drive from Dubai wasn’t worth it. But deep down, I knew why I stayed away: I feared that coming back would feel like holding a seashell to your ear and hearing not the ocean, but your own heart breaking. Until Eid break brought us to my childhood home.  My husband was driving. I was in the back, juggling two squirming kids, when I felt it coming. My heart caugh...

It’s Not Okay to Let Go Yet

Mommy, You hear people say it at the end – spoken softly, bravely, as an act of love:  “It’s okay. You can let go now.” I understand the love behind those words. I understand the mercy in them. They are meant to comfort. To release. To make room for peace when holding on has become too heavy. I have reached the age where many of my dearest friends have already lost at least one parent – most of them friends of yours and Daddy’s. I have watched them learn new languages of grief, learn how to keep going while carrying absence. I know that saying goodbye is, for some, the final gift they can offer. And still... I could never say that to you. Not yet. Not now. Not even close. Because it is not okay. There are still so many mornings I want you to wake up to. So many ordinary days I want you to live fully, slowly, joyfully. So many moments I want you to witness not as a memory, but as a presence. I want you to laugh more. To rest more. To be spoiled more. To be cared for in t...

A Week Full of Love, Milestones and Miracles

Truly, a gathering of grace — and the wedding of a lifetime. My Heart Is Overflowing These past few days have been a beautiful kind of whirlwind — the kind that leaves you breathless, grateful, and quietly in awe that so much love could fit inside such a short span of time. My youngest sister got married (yes – our Amazonian warrior, spoiled softie bunso!) and while part of me itched to immortalise it into words immediately, God was just unfolding blessings faster than I could catch them. . . . Filipino by heritage. UAE by childhood. Family forever. Right before and right after the wedding, the very people who witnessed my beginning — my Bestest and childhood friends, including my cousins who had moved to the USA — returned to my world once more. Full or mixed in heritage, we were kids of Filipino expats – born and raised in the UAE, growing up side by side, and united in memory. Seeing them again, some with their parents and spouses and children too, felt like time exhaled and wrapped...
