020819 Here for a few days and reunited with our middle son who is based in Manila. Kyle is on his 6th month on the job and he happily regaled us about how he likes what he does.

Given the choice, I would have wanted all three sons to be based in Cebu, but my helicopter parenting already ceased after high school, for the elder ones at least. Despite the anxiety of being away from them, it was a wise decision to send sons 1 and 2 to Manila for their whole university life. Both managed to prove that they could be let out of the coop. Thank heavens, they are now better prepared for the rigors of living independently. http://bit.ly/2MSIhZn via Tumblr http://bit.ly/2TBo4K5

It's not a bad thing, except, I could waste hours doing that. 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.
