“One day we won’t have to say goodbye anymore,” I remember thinking to myself everytime we dropped my mom off at the airport. My heart broke a little each time she left. My mom moved to America when I was in fifth grade, and would come back every few years to visit my brothers and… Continue reading

It’s 2:38 AM. My daughter is on my chest sleeping. I had just breastfed her, changed her diaper, and burped her. I do this every two to three hours depending on her. It has been 9 days since the birth of my beautiful baby. I’ve been on a different kind of high. I’m the happiest… Continue reading

My precious pug, my dream dog, and my little angel on earth. Today, I found out that he has severe arthritis due to genetic hip dysplasia. I don’t think he knows though, because he’s really active and trying to run around and play with his brother Peanut. Popoy is very special to me because I… Continue reading
