Ice Cream Day!

-








I felt bored today and have decided to take the kids for an ice cream.
Finally, I have done this after so many delays and frustrations.
I wanted them to remember that I spend days for ice cream when they were little ;)

Four Days in Trinidad, Bohol

  It was an unexpected visit to their Dada's hometown. It is called Trinidad, Bohol. It happened even if we were not prepared because her Aunt, who helped raise her when she was younger passed away due to old age. So off, they went ahead of me.

Majority of the time, these wounds will keep showing up in our relationships regardless if it’s personal, professional, or even intimate. Childhood trauma lingers unless we face it. Life is short. Make peace with your parents. This could be the final piece of the puzzle that will complete you. " - Jose Enrico V. Libunao This is definitely true and I hope that despite their special life beginnings, Sush and Nat will be able to bounce back in life in a positive way and be able to face their past without any ill feelings.
