Hello hiver friends! Today I just want to share our simple yet memorable bonding together with my brother and mother who works overseas. My brother Paul who works as a Factory worker at Taiwan and my mother for almost 7 years working as a domestic helper at Singapore. I'm very much proud of them both, for their sacrifice for our family to have a better life.

They just happen to be here with us because my father just passed away, and it's one of the reason why I didn't happen to post some blogs here because I had to focus on my father's funeral and burial. It's one of the saddest part of my life and until now I'm still grieving for our loss. My father had been under dialysis for more than a year, and these year he left us.

After my father's burial, we decided to have a simple bonding here at Robinson's before their flight to work again abroad. The sadness was still there but we pray that our father was now in a better place without any more pain. That's life after all, we need to keep on going and live for our family.

On the picture was my youngest brother who joined us on the playground and on the carousel. Seeing the smile on my children helps me to lessen the grieve I'm feeling because of my father's death. It's one of the reason for me to keep on moving forward and accept the fact that my father was already gone.

This was all my mother's idea to let her grandchildren enjoy the playground and have fun.

After an hour of playing at the indoor playground, We decided to have lunch at the Jollibee. My brother who work at Taiwan suggested to have our lunch here because there's no Jollibee at Taiwan, and he really missed the food on this fast food restaurant. It brings back memories when we are still a kid whenever we have a get together like this. I had a mixed emotion here, wishing my father to be with us in this simple lunch we are having right now.

We stroll for a bit after lunch and my second born was already asleep, we just had our grocery before deciding to go home.

We decided to visit my father at the cemetery at noon when the sun was already setting. My father was gone but he will always remain in our hearts. My family will never be complete whenever there are reunions but I know God had a purpose for everything.

This quick escape at the mall helps me forget the sadness I'm feeling at the moment. Praying that my father was now on a good place. No more pain for him.

That's all for today. Have a wonderful day to all of us. Life must go on whatever circumstances we are facing right now. There is a purpose and a reason for everything that is happening in our life right now.

Sincerely,
