It’s good to be together with mom
“Well it’s good to be together again, it’s a very special place…” Lyrics from a song I sang along with thousands other kids for WCG way back in the early 90’s.
I heard this song again a couple of months back when my family and I visited Baguio City for the Feast of Tabernacles ‘08. Just as any old song that has a nostalgic effect after hearing again after a long long while, this one just rendered me teary-eyed for one moment.
The trip to Baguio not only was a bonding time for my two young men of seven and five, but it was more of a treat to my beautiful mom, Rebecca who has dreamed of going to Baguio since she was a child. I remember in my teens when it was my turn to attend a summer camp provided by the church, mom’s words were, “Go to Baguio, attend the camp..and perhaps soon one of you can send me and your papa to se e the place ourselves.
Fifteen years after that, mom’swish did come true. You can see her all smiles in this photo, as she wears the costume of Igorot.
