It was always on a Sunday

It was always on a Sunday.

She would be silently teary eyed beside me, i could hear her muffling her sobs everytime the entrance song is sung by the choir, the Alleluiah's are recited, or the church organs reverberate through the church's ancient walls.

I am always reminded of Mama and her tears during mass everytime i hear mass from the church.

Mama said, she really gets moved by the masses she hears here. It apparently shocked her, the first time she heard mass in England, the choirs and the ambiance of the church just gets her teary eyed.

So everytime im in church now. I get teary eyed.

Not because im so moved by the organ musician, or the choir's angelic singing (which is quite touching i must say), but because, i miss her.

You must try hearing mass here too. Its a different kind.

Its so effective and powerful, its moving.

Some images of Mama after going to our local church.





she fits right into the place, doesnt she? im praying she will want to come back here.

the last time she was here, she was getting bored. and refusing to go out anymore. she would rather stay warm inside the house and cook for us.





My mama..i will always need her, no matter how old i get.




Mama's a good photographer=) she took this photo=)





Adrian's brunch..eggs benedict and english breakfast




mama's food (french baguette and bacon)..i didnt take photos of my food. (it was pancakes)




a loveletter to Adrian scribbled while waiting for the meal..

it said: " Dear Adrian, you are the most generous soul i know. You are a lovely husband. Love, R, xxx".

in my early weeks of pregnancy (with miro), i couldn't help but cry during mass. but now, i don't even know which part of the mass na kay grabe ko ka distracted. it will take me awhile again... maybe 3 years before i can totally be immersed in prayer.

again, your mama is beautiful and so are you! you both are lucky to have each other =)

I love to hear naman Filipino masses and songs. No doubt you miss your Mom. They are treasures and one of a kind. What would this world be without mothers like yours and mine and others.
