7 Years


Dearest Sherick,

Here's to the years of seven
That feels more than golden

When rainbows have melted
To ashes that bled.

Wishing it was easy to say
Those were our happiest days

But some years were beautiful
And the last ones just awful.

Apulit Island, Taytay, Palawan

Yet here we are..

With our 3-year-old best friend.

Hoping the next years of seven
Would feel more like heaven.

Happy Anniversary, My Love!

Love,
Jamie

Letter No. 37 - Enough


Dear Lance,

"You know, Mommy, I will buy a toy for you when you're sleeping. 
When you wake up, there's a surprise for you. I love you."

Thank you. 

And I am sorry. 

I am sorry I could not bring back.. 

I could not give you the brother and sister you have been asking for.

Not anymore.

But you know, Lance..

Your words today made me feel that..

Your brother or sister in heaven..

And You.. are Enough.

I love you.

Love,
Mommy
