Christmas gifts and a phone call


The day after Christmas I talked to my son Thomas who lives on Orcas Island and wished him a Merry Christmas. As always he cheered up his “old man.” He was our missing family member during our festival and celebration here in the Philippines. I know his life is where he is but I can’t help missing him. As he grew up I remember all the Christmases we spent together – only the two of us. Beng, Junior and I really miss him. As far as my Christmas presents – I received one the nicest Christmas gifts I ever from my son Junior - he gave me a nice picture frame with a photo of Beng and me embrace together a few months before we were married six years ago. It really touched me!
