Just a few thoughts

Hi! Thank you to everyone who sent me messages of sympathy and support. Although I'll miss my grandpa, I know he is at peace and looking down on us. Each passing day gets a little bit better. I've learned a few lessons the past week about patience and forgiveness, reuniting with family members that I haven't seen in a long time and rediscovering my faith.

A couple of days after his passing, we went to visit the seniors home he stayed in. This was displayed in one of the lounges where my uncle and aunt play the piano and guitar for the seniors every Sunday. Isn't it beautiful?

After the burial last Thursday, we headed to the airport for my parents' departure. They'll be in the Philippines for at least another 6 months while my dad finishes his consulting work in Manila. I know I will miss them terribly! *sniff*

On Friday night and Saturday afternoon, we spent some time with my cousins Kandie and Honeybee (hehehehe! Don't they just have the cutest nicknames?) who flew in from New York. Claire absolutely loved adored them!! We'll be seeing them again in October when they fly in for my cousin Carly's wedding. Can't wait!
