hehehe, youre crazy MM…but in a good way. it’s so good of you to give them these good childhood memories. oftentimes we get so caught up with our career and responsibilities that we forget the most important people in our life. and before we know it our kids are not so little anymore and we realize that we have been cheated out of their “growing-up” years.
and MD, i hope your son will get better soon. God works in His own mysterious ways. Just pray and let go…let Him take over.

That’s really great news Market Man! my son is staying with my parents in San Mateo, Rizal. But every three weeks he’s in Capitol Medical Center in Quezon City for chemo (he already had 2 out of the 6 sessions required by his oncologist).

His birthday is on June 5.

Again, thank you so much. I know in my heart that he will get well soon because God at this stage is working his miracles already.

md, where is your son in the Philippines may I ask? If you cannot make it home, and his birthday is not in May when I am away, I could perhaps help you with the gingerbread house… LBC or FEDEX does wonders locally you know…and I hope he gets better soon…

thanks for sharing this april fool’s day story Market Man, its been quite a while since I’ve had a good laugh (its been 3 months since my 7 month old son was diagnosed with cancer-since then I haven’t had the energy to smile much more laugh). I hope to start a similar tradition when he grows up.

I hope i can make a ginger bread house (like what you did last december-although much simpler) for him on his first bday, if i’ll be allowed by my employer to go home and be with him (‘though its breaking my heart but i’ve got no choice but to work overseas to support his chemo and other medication.

Thanks so much and God bless you and your family!

I was not “connected” yesterday so I didn’t get to comment until now… HD, no worries, their April Fool’s jokes are pretty well thought out and there wasn’t much risk of sliding off the toilet seat… suzette, I actually encourage this so its all part of the game… relly, the bulalo cube in the shower is a classic, especially if you like really hot water! twisted diva, I made sure they were a substantial distance from the window before bursting in, but the look on their faces was priceless I tell you, phergy, thanks for visiting and glad you enjoyed the site…come back for more!
