Tia Loring passed away August 19, 2008

2008-09-03T09:20:00.000-07:00

Tia Loring from Bataan passed away last August 19. Unfortunately, Tio Jaime is suffering from Alzheimer and may not even aware of the lost he just had.

What is your memory of Tia Loring?

I met Tia Loring a few times before when we were still in the Philippines and visited them in Bataan with Vic's family. She always showed a lot of enthusiasm in seeing her visiting relatives from Manila and prepared them lots of shrimp, lobster, and crabs among the few.

There were lots of good memories of Tia Loring that we will always treasure in our hearts. We offer our prayers for the repose of her soul and for healing of mind for Tio Alejandro. We also offer our most sincere condolences to the bereaved family.

Below are some photos of Tia Loring's family courtesy of Mila. Click to enlarge.

Update on Tita Chit with a new photo

2008-08-29T18:47:00.000-07:00

Hello, dear cousins!

Tita Pacita is now staying in Tower Grange Nursing Home (Bec’s place of work) which is about 15-20 minutes brisk walk from my house. Pero kung si Mila and Vin and maglalakad from my place, 1 hour dahil sa edad.

After my heart palpitated and got sick (in the mind?), the doctor advised me to rest for a while, hence brought Tita Pacita to the respite hospital for 2 weeks, then to the present nursing home where she is staying. She is well taken care of there as Becs is one of the nurse there.

Tower Grange Nursing home contact is 9544 8167 connect to GRANGE then tell the head nurse (Sister) you want to talk with PACITA Castro.

The sister has a portable phone to give Tita Chit.

Ciao and magluluto pa ako,
Benjie

PS paki-desimminate na lang sa other relatives and mom’s 2 surviving sisters.

The much needed vacation

2008-08-27T07:49:00.000-07:00

I’ve been busy with projects that I can only do on weekends and have not been able to join Vic in seeing Mommy Gloria lately. So for the past three weekends, I've been going to church by myself but at least Vic can still find the time to continue his regular visits and Mom can still go to mass and that’s what’s more important. I promise to make it up with her as soon as my projects ease up. Anyway, we have long before scheduled a week vacation next week plus we will be attending the SCRC Convention. Vic and I need this time off badly. We’ve been so tired and stressed for so long and the plan to take time off is long overdue. We need a quiet time together doing nothing, just absolutely nothing. Just allow our body and mind to refresh and get energized. We have not done this in a long time and we both are looking forward to it. For healthier body and mind, dear everyone, please do try to relax too and I mean r-e-l-a-x for your health sake.
Please read this article to learn and enjoy!

Happy Birthday Albert and Joshua!

Last Sunday, we joined Albert and Joshua in celebrating their birthdays. There were many friends and relatives from Grace's side but from the Samson clan, only Vic, Mom, Dida and I were able to attend. The food was great as usual and we ate a lot.

Incredible love of a father to his son.

2008-07-06T17:52:00.000-07:00

Incredible love of a father to his son...what more is the love of our God the Father to us.

Make sure your speaker is turned on.

Let's treasure our relationship with our loved ones for life. This is a true story!

A son asked his father: 'Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me? The father who, despite having a heart condition, says 'Yes'. They went on to complete the marathon together. Father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying 'Yes' to his son's request of going through the race together. One day, the son asked his father, 'Dad , let's join the Ironman together.' To which, his father said 'Yes' too. For those who don't know, Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever. The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometer) ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometer) bike ride, and ending with a 26.2 mile (42.195> kilometer) marathon along the coast of the Big Island. Father and son went on to complete the race together.

Let's Keep Praying for Tita Chit

These photos were sent by Mila a couple of months ago. It's so heartbreaking to see Tita Chit in these pictures because we know that she's always been thin all her life but in these pictures, she's even thinner. The cute baby is one of Benjie and Becks' twin apo. Let's continue praying for God's will for Tita Chit.
