Our favorite middle son (we also have our favorite eldest and youngest sons, to be fair) is turning 16 tomorrow. It seems like yesterday when I first held him and saw him flash his dimple. Gone are the days when my biggest mommy worry was about breasfeeding him long enough or where to get the best baby care products (sadly there was no online shopping yet then).

And in a few months (God-willing), he will be off to Manila for college. With 2 of my boys away, the house will never be the same again. *Sigh*.

I thought I was totally in control and could dismiss the situation as another milestone, like seeing your child lose his first baby tooth. Nothing a warm hug or an ice cream could not fix. On the contrary, that hug at this time just exacerbates the yearning. It ...

Looking at old photos is becoming my favorite activity to pass time. Thanks to popular memes on instagram and the instant access to pictures at flickr, I get to dig them up, view them and be transported back in time... in a snap.
