Dear Lance,
This is El Nido, Palawan. And you were 5.
"I love water too much." You said.
"Our son is probably a fish." Dad said.
You always wanted to jump.
From the boat. From the kayak.
You always woke to see the sunrise.
Everyday. You and daddy.
You always woke me to say..
"Mom, we found a sea slug!"
"Mom, we saw a lot of hornbills!"
"Come, I'll show you!"
It was beautiful there.
Especially watching you make friends with other kids to build sandcastles.
You were brave and adventurous.
I hope you will stay that way.
Now here is a little video for your memories someday.
Loving you so much always,
Mommy
