Twenty-three (23) more days to go and I would be the happiest mom on earth. It may sound very exaggerated, but it's true.
For twenty years, we were doing a lot of things together - eating, sleeping, shopping, travelling, crying, laughing at someone or even laughing at ourselves . . . together!
Six months after her debut, she left for London. From Southville Foreign University where she finished her Associate in Hotel and Restaurant Management, she continued her studies in International Hospitality Management, first, at the Isle of Man, then proceeded to London Metropolitan University . If only I could, I would have prevented her from leaving the Philippines . . . from leaving us (her Dad and me ). But it was her dream and we do not want to nurture our selfishness at the expense of fulfilling her ambitions in life.
Not long after, she met the man of her life at the uni and eventually decided to get married. There was an indescribable pain at the start, which, through the process of acceptance, later on became a sigh of relief. Finally, my Queen is in good hands over there in the land of the Brits . . . the place of the King and Queen . . . the place where Reina now belongs.
Since her marriage last August 16, 2011 and since we bade goodbye to each other last August 28, 2011 at the Heathrow Airport in London, we will only see each other again on October 19, 2012.
Isn't that exciting?
Oh, well, as a mom, I'm so EXCITED to see my only daughter , REIN, and my only son, JOE! They will be my special guests/hosts during our 3-in-1 HALLOWEEN SPECIAL !
Believe me . . . I'm so EXCITED to be with them for fifteen looooong days!
