There are moments in life when you look around, and suddenly everything feels right.

The air is lighter. The laughter is louder. And your heart?

Full. 💓

That’s exactly how I felt during this recent family gathering—especially when Leanne, my eldest, came home from the UK for a visit and Nikko with Niña came also from Bicol. It’s not often that I get to have all my children in one place, much less with their partners and my precious grandchildren… but God made it happen.

And when He does—He does it beautifully. 🙏

Three generations, one joyful night. 🏆🎁

This wasn’t just a reunion. It was a celebration of family, love, and answered prayers.

We gathered by the pool, under twinkling lights and laughter that echoed across generations.

There were babies in arms, children in pajamas, grown-ups sharing stories, and hearts reconnecting over food, hugs, and shared memories.

This time, the picture included not only my children and grandchildren, but also Bong and his two children, Maimai and JM, and the life partners of my children—each one a beautiful addition to the tapestry of our lives.

Even the selfie king made sure no one was left out!

💛 When I look at these pictures, I see:

Children I carried now carrying children of their own Partners who have become family by love and commitment Grandchildren who fill our home with giggles, cries, and wonder And Bong, always steady beside me, quietly holding our blended family together with love and grace

We’re not perfect. We have our seasons, our chaos, our silent prayers.

But in that moment, we were together.

And that’s what matters most.

🕊️ What I’m most grateful for:

Safe travels
Genuine smiles
The gift of time
And the sweet reminder that God really does answer the desires of our hearts—sometimes all at once.

This night will live on in our memories, in the glow of that green canopy, and in the warmth of these photos.

God is Great All The Time.

For the gift of family, the grace of love, and the beauty of togetherness.

And I will never take that for granted.
