Much as I hate to say it I want to hope that someday I could actually say that I could let Joshwa go. I want him to have his own apartment and make it out on his own. With that being said last week Joshwa went on a school field trip at the Manila Ocean Aquarium with his nanny and classmates.
I didn’t plan a lot summer activities for the kids this year. I wanted to focus on one activity at a time. For Adee she started with Easy Math last March. Read the rest of this entry
This poem was recited during Joshwa’s recognition day and this poem almost moved me to tears. Very touching and yet it was everything that a person with disability should tell the whole world. I failed to catch the name of the author and yet when I googled it just says that the author was anonymous.
Today was Joshwa’s recognition day and I’m glad that my husband went out of his way to go to the recognition day. Joshwa was awarded as Best In Computer to some people it’s not a big deal. To me it always is.

To My Son,
I hope you know how much I love you so,
I might embarrass you from time to time
By giving lots of love and needless kisses,
But you need to know Mom loves you so,
Before you were born I didn’t know
just how much I would love you so,
But when I looked into your eyes for the first time,
I felt my heart grow and grow,
A Mothers love is hard to explain,
Not everyone will feel the same,
Now that you are getting older I felt the need to tell you,
Just how much I love you so,
Time may pass day after day or year after year, a
But the love I have for you grows
nearer and dearer to my heart each day and year,
I know that one day you might not me anymore to force you
to take your vitamins enough anymore despite the fact that
it has great multiple vitamin ratings.
To My Son I hope you know just how much I love you so.
