FROM GMA NEWS: Four earthquakes, including one with a magnitude of 6.0, struck Luzon on Saturday afternoon, with a town in Batangas province feeling a jolt of Intensity 7.
Mom and Dad are out today, as we joined our parish's Visita Iglesia in Rizal. We felt one of the jolts, and I immediately called home to check on you. Sending prayers for God to keep you safe and sound. I love you, my babies.
This blog contains my thoughts and my ramblings, stories of our family, and random stuff I find along the way -- things I want my children to remember long after I am gone. May you learn more about Mommy as you read each post, and know that I love you all very much.

It's a NO
Dad and I had been wanting to migrate to another country for some time now. New Zealand, Australia, Canada -- anywhere that's family friendly and will give you better opportunities in life, especially for Kuya.
But everytime we get a lead in this quest, something happens. The latest is a confirmed NO from God. Kuya has been recently diagnosed with Moderate Intellectual Disability. While this came as a shock, it answers a lot of questions that I have and uncertainties that we've been feeling.
Processing visa approval for the visually impaired is difficult. The government will understandably want to minimize their expenses on sustaining the alternative lifestyle of the disabled. So taking in a new PWD into their country will be in the least of their priorities. Being visually impaired with moderate intellectual disability further reduces the chances for visa approval ofcourse.
So, it's a NO. We can never migrate without Kuya; it is not an option. I just pray that this NO is just God trying to steer us in the right path for our family. I still claim His promises that He will make us prosper.
Kuya, keep in mind that this diagnosis does not define you. You are loved and capable of anything you set your mind to. Mommy and Daddy will be behind you every step of the way. I love you!

Weaning
Dear M,
I'm sorry. I've been putting calamansi extract on my nipples so you won't feed at night anymore. It pains me, love, knowing that I'm lying to you. But the past few days, you were really hurting me when you feed.
I miss our closeness when you feed because now you don't even want to hug tight when we sleep anymore. Maybe this is the price that I pay? Maybe I am choosing this pain of regret and guilt over the pain of feeding?
I'm sorry, love. We're weaning you from mama, but that doesn't mean I love you less now. It just means I know you are strong enough now. I miss our time together. Never forget that I nursed you this far. You are forever my bunsoy.
