Happy to be Complete

Writer's Note: I actually wrote this 17 December but because there were a lot of plans and we went on a lot of trips, I ended up saving it as a draft and totally forgetting all about it hehe :)

I can't believe it...God is indeed great!

After seven years, my parents, and all five of us, their kids, are again complete...thanking God for allowing it to be physically and financially possible for us to be together again!

A bonus is, we're all here together Down Under!

Ang sarap ng pakiramdam lalo't naalala ko lahat ng pinagdaanan namin dati... Lahat ng hirap, pangmamaliit ng ibang tao, at kung ano-ano pa.

More than our love, our faith and service pulled us through all the hardships we faced.

Thank you Lord!

Post Script: This is a dream come true for us. An answered prayer. A very big blessing. Never in our wildest dreams have we imagined we will be able to do something like this. We are thankful that we got to spend time as a family, that we were able to be complete not on a sad occasion (like death, touchwood), but on happy occasions!

This indeed is one of the best and happiest Christmases we had. Nakakapagod at medyo magastos, pero the joy we felt outweighs all of it. We don't know when we will have the chance to be complete again. So we're really thankful for this.

My two youngest siblings will be flying back to Manila soon. I already miss them :( I know that their nephews and nieces will also miss them. Iba rin talaga nagagawa ng talagang nakikita at nakakasama nila ang Tito Bok and Tita Pau nila. Kilalang kilala na sila ng mga bagets ngayon!
