WOULD HAVE

Since we have been here in Cebu my husband has been calling us or me calling him. We miss him so much and he misses us to, even our dogs missed us. I worry about him though since his doing a lot of overtime while we are here. I also have another reason to be worried, my grandfather was admitted in the hospital. Even though he is in the hospital he acts like everything is fine and tries to be strong. Before I left he even asked me to buy him some vitamins and if I could send it back in my balikbayan box. I could not hold my tears when I gave him a hug and kiss. I held on to him and just breathe in his scent. When we got back in Cebu I called my husband and cried on the phone. My husband kept assuring me that my grandfather will recover and get healthy again. Ralph is already counting the days until we will be home, I on the other hand want to stay longer. I know my mom will be crushed when we leave and my daughter will be missing all of them here in Cebu. Next time we will be staying a little bit longer so that I can enjoy more.

PASSED OUT

Poor baby girl got so exhausted that she passed out on top of me. I thought she was just playing but when she got heavier and didn't move I realized she was already sleeping. Kaitlyn is still a moving tornado here, like the energizer bunny she keep going and going and going until she just passes out from pure exhaustion. She loves running around my mom's small house and just playing with my stepdad. Kaitlyn doesn't really mind that she gets to clammy and sticky from the heat as long as she gets to play and run around. The only drawback to being here is she has gotten very very clingy to me specially when she gets very anxious. Usually I can leave her with her Mima but now I can't. I guess its because she knows that we are not really home and worried that I will leave her.

SMELL OF THE PIPE

Vacation is almost coming to an end.I don't even want to think about going home and not seeing my mom and sister again for many years. My MIL and I are dreading the long long flight going back home. The flight coming here she worried about smoking, will she be able to control her urges. I told her to just bring her e-cig for use at the airport and it did help with her urge to smoke. I remember that my grandfather use to smoke so much. From cigarette, to pipe and lastly cigar. When he smoked the pipe it was pleasure for us coz we loved the smell of it. As for the cigar we hated it. He even got imported cigar from my cousin who worked at Tinder Box. She probably knows arturo fuente cigars and familiar with its brand. My uncle stopped smoking before and so did my husband but they eventually went back to their old habits. That is my husbands only vice which I don't really mind as long as he smokes less. I hope once day my husband, uncle and MIL will be able to stop smoking.
