My mom arrived from the states yesterday after 6 months of being away. Of course, we are very happy. We missed her so much. The calm she brings to our household was back after she stepped off the plane and into our arms. We were glad she's back. Would have been nice if Kaye, my other sister, was with her but she's pursuing a dream in the states and she just could not go home yet. Anyway, she's doing great and I wish her all the best.
Anyway, along with mom coming home are "goodies" that she brought for me and bunso. I received quite a few but one gift stood out in particular. It was a brown XXL shirt Kaye sent to me. Why? It's not because of Kaye's obsession of seeing me in a muscleman shirt knowing that my tummy would bulge out like a pregnant woman on her third trimester, but because, I know for a fact that that shirt was the first gift she gave to me coming from her hard earned money.
The thought of my little sister, going about the stores in the US, trying to look for a gift, and budgeting whatever little saving she has from working so hard and yet buying a relatively expensive shirt for me, is very touching. She has not yet established any semblance of a stable job there yet, there she was, sending gifts. Finding a way. I appreciated it so much.
To Kaye, I love you. I would like you to know, that even though I would look like an overgrown "butete" in that shirt, I appreciate it very much. Thank you. It was very thoughtful. I would wear it soon. Oh by the way, next time, a shirt with the little reptile on the upper left would be better ok? Preferably, a size 6. hehehe. Just kiddin' Love you.
I feel everything is coming together...
