Dear Jaco,

It's been a bittersweet weekend. We checked-in at the Richmonde Hotel in Ortigas (a family favorite) and had so much fun with your cousins. On the other hand, Tatay has to leave for the US in a few days and hard times are up ahead. Be strong, babe. I hope when you grow up, you remember not the sad fact that Tatay had to leave, but the fun we all had as a family.

Love, N

Dear Jaco,

This is the first house that we lived in as a family. It's nothing much but we had tons of fun in it. Like you guys here on our "porch". :)

When you grow up, i want you to remember that it doesnt matter where you are, the size of your house or what part of the city you're in, what's important is the people you're living with.

Love,
Nanay
