My beloved Mom would've turned 87 today.
She was a very loving, dedicated and supportive wife, mom, and grandmother!

Mommy completed a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education, major in Math.
She also loved music and played the piano.
While teaching high school mathematics, Mom took music courses that would lead towards an Associate's Degree in Music Education. Meanwhile, Dad had just returned to Manila from post-graduate studies at The Juilliard School and got appointed as a faculty member at the same music school where my mom enrolled.
That was the beginning of their beautiful and idyllic love story!
That's me, the first of four brats!

Christmas 2016 was the last time the family was together. Tish and I flew back to the USA on January 23, 2017. |
Sadly, Daddy left us on May 23, 2017.
Mommy joined Daddy on January 23, 2021.
We sorely miss you, Daddy and Mommy, but we're very happy you're together again!
A very sweet memoir and memorial; thank you for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteNow, you must excuse me -- my monitor has seemingly slowly drifted out of focus while I was reading through it. I have to get a Kleenex now. For the monitor... of course.
Thanks for the kind thoughts about my treasured memories, mrh!
