and Gio explained the true meaning of Christmas...


I was infront of the computer yesterday around 4pm. I was doing a mickey mouse globe balloon drawing in cad for my boy. He wants me to make it as a coloring page. While doing it, i received an international call. My adopted sister is bothering me again for money. I got angry not because she is asking for the money, but for the reason that she is making her life miserable... when i heard her saying, "kung walang magpapalaba, wala kaming kakainin mag-iina" (if no one will ask me to do their laundry, me and my children will not eat) It pains my heart and I was shouting on the top of my lungs at her. It is not supposed to be like this, me and my youngest sister are having a blissful family life. After I yelled at her, I hang up the phone and cried... my son Gio asked me, "why? why Mommy, what's the matter?" he asked so many times and then I answered him. "My son, do you remember your cousin, Pinky? yes, the one in the Philippines, he replied. Her mama is asking for money, i said to him. He replied back, I have money Mommy in my mickey mouse bag, I have 2, I can share to her my other money, let me get it." Gio came back bringing the bag, inside the bag, is a leather wallet and the content of the wallet are 2 pcs of Philippine peso bill (50 and 500). He handed over to me the Php.500 bill and he said, we can send it Mom, I can share my money to ate Pinky. I was touched by the way he reacted on the words that I uttered to him. I thanked God for another blessing, a loving and generous son and that is Gio. Gio inspired me to understand the true meaning of Chrismas... Merry Christmas to all!
