I had a fun pictorial session with my two grandaughters Betina and Chloe. Here are the pics.

Mother Blue

Today is Mother's Day and I'm feeling blue. I think the old woman who lived in a shoe is more fortunate than I am today. My only daughter who's away in Camiguin did not send me a Mother's Day greeting. It's very unlike her. I miss the time when she's in Baguio, she brought home a bouquet of Egyptian mums for me on Mother's day. I remember how carefully she wrapped the flowers so it will stay fresh after the eight hour trip home from Baguio. It makes me sad to think whether it's I or my daughter who has changed. I even have this fear that we're falling apart from each other. At least my son and his wife with their two daughters came to visit. My granddaughters cheered me up a bit. I took Chloe's measurements as she's asking me to sew her school uniforms. Betina asked me to trim her bangs as she can't see behind it anymore.

Anyways, at church early this morning we had a special Mother's day celeb. The mothers were given one rose each, and a gift (three kitchen towels). As we mothers entered the church the ushers pinned a pink ribbon on our blouse. The pastor gave a passionate sermon about the importance of a praying mother. Some fathers had a funny dance number to amuse the mothers and the youth had a tearjerker presentation.

It's ten pm now and I'm still hoping my daughter will send me a Mother's day greeting.
