If There's a Will, There's a Way

I get to visit my mom twice a year in La Loma; during her death anniversary, April 9th and her birthday, October 31.

Mama would have been 66 years old today...

I knew I wouldn't be able to visit Mama this time because I was not feeling well prior and til her birthday.

Despite my condition and  adding to the fact that traffic is terrible during Halloween, I got to visit Mama by biking from my place to La Loma because I always believe in the saying, "if there's a will, there's a way".

My father, siblings, nephews and nieces were there when we arrived. They knew I was not coming.

To reward my husband for his unending support, 

on the way back home, we stopped by Kowloon House to buy John's favorite siopao.
