Visits to Alhibe Farm and Balay ni Charing provided moments of tranquility and reflection amidst the urbanization of the area. Reuniting with old friends and exploring the beauty of the provinces left a heart full of gratitude and a renewed spirit for the future.
On this Mothers’ Day, I want to honor this truly wonderful person who shaped me into what I am today. Today, and every day, I shall endeavor to celebrate her unwavering love and devotion. For all the poignant memories of the living and loving and learning she so generously afforded me, I shall strive to leave a noble legacy as well.
We were once upon a time grizzled warriors – fighting, bleeding, dying and surviving together through nameless battles – accomplishing remarkable feats, enduring heartbreaking losses, making silly mistakes and, as the Scout Ranger Song goes: “seeking and fighting and laughing and loving, Scout Rangers of fortune are we!”
