Home again after 3-months long vacation in the Philippines...

No, I was not out backpacking in the South-east Asia! Three months long bonding time with my aging mother is the best gift I could give on her 76th birthday. I was longing to spend those days for so long, so after 26 years being with my family here in Sweden, I decided one dark and cold morning to leave my 2 grown-up daughters and a husband for a while to be with my beloved Mamang instead! Most people are talking about spending quality time with their children, but here I am not only talking about quality but also quantity time with my mother!

I must say, we really enjoyed our time together. Most of all, when friends and family noticed how lively and happy my mother is nowadays. I am so grateful to enjoy life with her while she is still healthy and full of life.
