Their family has premature greying, I think the silver blonde accelerated during stress, now that you asked. hmm. yes we were looking at Luijoe's photo album which he has never seen since he died. @KK- Am really thankful for the progress he made .

Just curious. But you can ignore this question :) It suits him though. I like that poignant photo of you and him perusing a photo album. Manila is blessed to have a recovery program available to parents who needs an outlet for their grief.

It's been 16 years since I have lost my mom, and I still miss her so much. So I am happy for you and your husband that you were able get through the past years. Your husband has done good coming out with how he dealt/deals with his grief loosing your angel. Yes, it is tough for men specially in the Filipino society where men are supposed to be macho and not show any sign of weakness. Tears are seen as weakness there and sometimes boys are even teased that they are bakla when they cry. I wouldn’t even want to think about the subject of loosing a child Ate Noemi.

J made me see this when during Baby Daniel's wake, most of the mourners went to our common friend, A to console her and J muttered "pity H, everybody thinks he can deal with it, when the truth is, they share the same pain". I personally got a glimpse of that pain when, while I was standing in the lobby of the funeral parlor, I saw H shake his head in an attempt to bite off a cry while watching the ministrations upon their dear baby. Btw, I saw R, the husband of your L's teacher in Miriam a few months ago while attending the MCLE. He looked better now than before. I felt happy that he could smile now, though with a hint of sadness. I thought you'd want to know that. Sorry for the lengthy comment.

I've seen grief take its toll on people that I love. 10 years ago I lost my cousin to cancer. He was the brother I never had. He was only 24 years old and one of 2 boys. My Ninang and her husband were total wrecks after that. It's been a while but you can still see pain in their eyes. I will mention this to them. Me naman, I lost my Dad last year. I really can't say that I've gotten over it but I'm trying. Papa's girl kasi ako. Hi Noemi!! I’ve seen grief take its toll on people that I love. 10 years ago I lost my cousin to cancer.

Seriously. You guys have been through so much. Ah. I can almost feel your pain and his pain. I mean, what he must have been going through on top of everything else. He has to suppress his feelings because of the stupid facade Men has to have in order not to look weak. I wish I could watch his TV appearance too. I don't know what else to say but that I'm really glad I've stumbled upon you online. One day I hope to meet you and your family. Be ready for the biggest hug you'll ever get in your life :) .
