Picture of me and my Mom taken by my Dad |
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!

We sorely miss you, Daddy and Mommy, but we're very happy you're together again!
