I am a MOM for almost nine years now and documenting my kids’ milestone has been a part of my motherhood
journey. For the times where I could not
make it in their school activities, my aunt would take her time out to do this
thing on my behalf. There are photographs taken in our unguarded moments. I am leafing those pages where I bonded with my son,
my husband bonded with her
daughter, my Mom took an early morning walk in the sea shore with her grandson .

I treasured these majical moments. I know
time is flying so fast and my kids will have a life of their own. One day when
I get old I might be literally empty handed in the house but will be certainly
rich with memories in my heart.
Upward Gaze:
Thank You Heavenly Father for the gift of every moment.
We know that spending time with our family is part of your will. May we create a balance
in terms of our time for You, for our
family and for our work. This we ask in
the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
Jan, these are compelling images. Malawomay yang huna-huna Tia Celia, I love this image of her with her grandson on the beach. You with your son sauntering on the seashore, it evokes the feeling of home.I also love the Father and daughter bonding. My regret, I don't have images with me and my kids together when they were young, because I'm always the photographer. Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful images and your brief memoirs--they all portray what it means to be "home," that sublime feeling with loved ones. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you KUya Dan. It's always a pleasure receiving comment from a national artist. You continued to inspire me. Thank you for being with me in my journey. Few people fueled my passion in writing and that passion is now on fire. I treasured your thoughts. IT has transcendental power. That encounter is also majical.
DeleteAlways my pleasure, Jan. I like that--your "passion is on fire." Every moment of our life is magical, that's how I saw it especially now that I my body is getting old, but not my mind and heart. :)
