Reverie

Was spring cleaning the other day and classified a big box of photos, putting together those i thought had a theme.  Relatives on Dad's side, one pile. Relatives on Mom's side, another pile. Photos of my children, pile three. Vacations, pile four. And on and on and on. Here's how i grouped this particular set i am sharing with you: Mommy and her love affair with flowers.

Mommy always had a thing for plants. Especially flowers.

Mom, taken at my lolo's house in Baguio during her honeymoon


In one of her trips out of the country (not sure if this was in San Francisco or Canada)


In La Trinidad, Benguet with me and my brother

 And here are some snapshots taken by her...

















For what i thought was to be just some menial task turned out to be one whole afternoon of sifting not just through piles of photos but also through memories both  happy and sad. I had to pause every so often for those images in the mind... the voices, the faces, the laughter, the tears.

Happy Birthday in advance, Mommy! Hope you are enjoying all the flowers God has set in heaven.
