bigger than life

It's your birthday and we feel your absence more today here at wonder | wonder | world. It's a day to celebrate you youer than you. 

From our pre-Mahala, pre-Oro, pre-Mother Lily days of being your student, mentee, adoptiva to quiet lunches out, one on one chats, sleep overs - years piled on years yet never enough and all too precious.

We spent Mahala's first trimester kapit-tuko to Madie and her last Wanggo trimester - while you left us to wage your battles in Manila. Born six months later into a world that shook, rattled and rolled us out of our quiet little lives into the limelight. 

Bright lights, big city blues - green means go, red means stop - but not for us. We made hay and broke those damn rules. Laughing maniacally and sticking it to all those shmoes. 

Years unfolded, folks came and went - friends made and friends lost. Hearts on fire, hearts shattered - boom kaboom! 

What was all the drama about or for? Scattered pieces gathered slowly and carefully. We stopped the frenzied dance to quietly waltz through life once more. 

We are forever grateful beyond and above for countless highlights of our lives - together and apart yet always shared. We love you mumo!
