Bye, Grandfather...

Undoubtedly, it has taken me some time to update Theo's blog site, simply because a lot of things have happened in the past few weeks. First and foremost is that my father, Theo's grandfather, passed away on July 3, putting all of our lives on hold for more than a week. In line with this, our father's sister (Tita Nalik) came over from the US to bring my father to his final resting place. There were also a number of relatives from outside the city and province who came over to join us in our moment of mourning. Thus, the past few weeks/weekends have been a bit hectic.

That was not an excuse, however, for not having fun. A week after my father's funeral, we all went to Sta. Fe Resort as a welcome treat for Tita Nalik. We spent many hours there in the pool and we all, Theo and his cousin Lance included, had a great time. Now, it's back to normal again. Life goes on and the journey continues....
