Tears in Heaven

When papa passed away 5 years ago, I always had this song playing in my mind everytime I think of him.

Now that "All Soul's Day" is nearing and our family couldn't go home to visit him in the "park", this song keeps on playing everywhere I go.

Is it just pure coincidence?
Or is he reminding me that it is I who have forgotten him?

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?

I must be strong
And carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven.

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven?

I'll find my way
Through night and day,
'Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven.

Time can bring you down,
Time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart,
Have you begging please, begging please.

Beyond the door,
There's peace I'm sure,
And I know there'll be no more
Tears in heaven.

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?

I must be strong
And carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven.

Take it Easy

Life is difficult these days. Good thing I have my kids and my super loving hubby to remind me how easy it can be with them in my life.

Hay, I'm pagod yet happy!

It's nicely

When he isn't in the mood, he'd really be hot headed.

Kenzo: Arisha, stay away from the TV. I am watching. I said, I am watching. Stay away now!

Mama: Sshh Kenzo, that's not the way to talk to your sister. Say it nicely.

Kenzo: It's nicely Arisha. I am saying it.

But he really cares too.

Mama: Kenzo, I am tired.

Kenzo: Just sit down, ok? and don't go outside, ok? because it's a sunny day and it's really hot out there, ok?

another caring incident with Papa

Kenzo: Don't disturb papa, Arisha. He needs to work on the computer, ok? come here and just sit down here and play with my toys, ok?

He uses the word "ok" many many times.

Mom's 55th Bday

My mom celebrates her 55th birthday today. I just wished her a happy day today. I'll save whatever plans I have when she visits us this weekend.
