2 celebrations

it was her graduation, then her birthday. that count to 2 celebrations.

gemma has been a family. the daughter of our eldest bro, nanay took her home from angeles, pampanga when she was 2 months old. that made me an instant brother, tito, guardian and at times father rolled into one.

her high school brought her with me, and college, and i wish for many more years. younger days were spent with our parents.

then one day, a graduation. i must be prouder, and more thankful to God for sufficiency of grace all through out. the celebration was more of a thanksgiving for the grace received.

then the next, birthday. i must be happy for another year added to her life and i wish for more life to be added to her years. the celebration was more of a thanksgiving for the grace abounding.

despite the loss of a father who wished more than i did the best education for gemma, and despite nanay not being able to march her down the red aisle but still wished for best life for gemma, we did have 2 celebrations. all because of God's grace.

(graduation: march 30, 2011; birthday: april 11)
