It's nearly been a week since I left you guys and I have finally gotten acclimated to the time and my sleep pattern is back to normal. I miss you both.
I think of the times, waking up next to you, Mommy every morning and it makes me smile. Then again, dad greeting me every morning with a cup of coffee, also keeps me smiling. Shoot, just hanging out with you guys TOTALLY ROCKED!!! You guys ALWAYS make me laugh, even at times when I feel like crying, you guys always seem to find humor and the right words to comfort me. I miss helping out and being physically there, preparing meals for mom and seeing the contentment on both of your faces. Being there in Malolos with you guys made me semi-complete...you know who was missing in the picture...Jonathan. All in all, it was great bonding time for us 3; the original 3. I miss coming home from my trips with cousins and telling you guys all about it. I cherished each second, minute and hour we were together and as I said of the last visit, each visit gets better each time. However, each time it gets harder to leave and I'm left sobbing on my last day. Now that sucks!
I guess my fondest memory of this visit was Dad's tirade when I clogged the toilet! ROFL!!! Do you remember what you told me, mom, while we laid in bed quietly?! You told me, "I would lay quiet if I were you, let him go off on his rant." We laid there cracking up while we watched dad go to and from the bathroom with the plunger. Then, the plunger got stuck in the toilet and dad was left holding the handle! Oh my! I couldn't help but crack up!!!! Finally, when I knew he'd cooled off (it only took half the day for him to cool off <eye roll>), I approached him and smiled at him with my cheesy, little girl smile. At first, he just shook his head and then he hugged me and started cracking up, telling me "you're something else and yeah you're different alright." LOL!!!! I love it!!! It was a "you had to be there" moment and we were, all together.
Well, I guess I've said enough. I miss and love you both very much and I can't wait to see you again. Don't worry, this year will go by very quickly. Before we know it, it'll be time for more antics and wackiness--committed by yours truly.
Love,
Maritess
