Pinoy Food & Other Cuisine :: Food PhotoBlog and Events |

Thank you Goldilocks for believing that my You’re the 1, Goldilocks entry met your criteria as first prize winner. I never expected to win the first prize. Friends were telling me that my entry looked like a winner. I am not going to be coy and say that it is not worth winning…just that I never imagined it would make the cut for first prize.

It was not easy writing this entry. I wrote it on Luijoe’s July 13 birth anniversary with a lot of tears because I missed him so much yet thankful to God that even with my loss, his memory lives on through my work, the The Compassionate Friends grief support group. After the positive resolution of my grief, I found my new normal…me, a blogger. I began blogging because I wanted to reach out to others. Of course, I never imagined people would read my blog because of my devastating loss. Then again, I underestimated myself.

I wanted to let those who have similar losses like me , know that death may have taken their loved one but memories can never be taken away.

Thank you once again, Goldilocks (I thanked them personally and they said “Thank yourself”. Your story speaks for itself)

and thank you to Nuffnang for organizing this event!
