LOVE LETTERS TO E.J.

Posted on September 28, 2009 by LoMeili

My husband and I agreed that from time to time, we will write letters to our children so that someday, they have something to guide and encourage them when they need it. We can’t and we won’t be with them all the time, but with these letters, it’s as if we’re beside them. From these letters they’ll know how much we love them, what we value the most, what we pray for, what our principles are, who we are and what we, as parents, hope to impart to them that they too can impart to their children. We will categorize these types of blogs as LOVE LETTERS TO E.J. because truly, all our letters will be written because we love them. All our children have the initial E.J. Elisha Joey (Elisha or EJ) our son and Elizabeth Joy (Meimei) our daughter. If a third child comes, for sure his or … Continue reading →

IN MY LIFE…

Posted on September 28, 2009 by MeiliLo

SHE WRITES: Last night I had a date with my mom and dad We watched a Star Cinema movie entitled IN MY LIFE which stars the Star For All Seasons Ms. Vilma Santos, her son Luis Manzano and a versatile actor John Lloyd Cruz and is directed by Olivia Lamasan, who also directed the  movies Got 2 Believe in Magic and Milan. You may watch the full trailer of this abs-cbn movie IN MY LIFE here. Among the characters, it was Shirley who made me laugh and cry as I can see in her my mother and myself (as a mother too). There was a part in the movie where Ms. Vilma Santos, Shirley, told about how there were times she wanted to give up but she didn’t because she had to be strong for her children. There I saw my mom… I believe many times in the past there were days she was just … Continue reading →

ONE STEP CLOSER…

Posted on September 22, 2009 by MeiliLo

Dear Meimei, As I was holding you this evening, I realized it’s been a 5 months and 6 days since I heard your first cry… I still recall the very first time I saw you in the delivery room when the nurse brought you to me, I blurted out that you had your papa’s nose – which made the nurses smile. After several hours, your pedia, Dra. Tett went to my room and told me that the other parts of your body were all normal except for one thing – you have a birth defect known as imperforate anus. I didn’t cry nor did I feel hopeless. I knew deep down in my heart that God is in control, He cares for you more than I do and that your name, Elizabeth Joy means God’s Promise of JOY - nothing can change that. April 18 your papa came home and you had your first operation – you needed … Continue reading →

EJ’s ACCIDENT

Posted on September 19, 2009 by MeiliLo

Dear Elisha, It’s been 3 days since your accident – you hit your head on the edge of the of the bench while you were playing with your classmates which resulted to an injury on your left eyebrow and swelling on the left side of your face. I keep recallingthe scene where the lady guard (Manang Josie) was carrying you and running from the preschool department all the way to the clinic… I keep hearing your excruciating cry… I keep seeing the blood that covered your face and your uniform when I finally confirmed that it was you Manang Josie brought to the clinic… I keep seeing the the time 4:02pm in the car as I parked outside your school because seconds after that, the accident happened… I keep wondering if arriving earlier would’ve prevented the accident…I keep feeling how your body trembled when nurse Marizet was cleaning your wound, teacher Glazeus was removing the … Continue reading →

SOMETHING NEW IN SHEWRITES.YOUWRITE.

Posted on September 13, 2009 by MeiliLo

Yipee… I am finally shifting into a new way of blogging Instead of limiting SheWrites.YouWrite into a Q & A type of blog, I decided to make SheWrites.YouWrite into a general blog. General in a sense that I can blog whatever I want to blog about… That simply means I’ll have more writeups in the coming days (I HOPE!) (wink) I may even have contests in the days to come so you better come and visit SheWrites.YouWrite as frequent as you can! I realized that I don’t need several blogsite, I just need to categorize them – Whew! It took me months to finally break free from the Q & A kind of blogging. I got tired of thinking WHAT to ask! ;D At least this time, I can just write write write and you can comment comment and comment! (Yes, I am expecting YOUr comments so please feel free to write … Continue reading →
