As we get older we value more on family. They are treasures worth keeping.
Thoughts of losing my mom when her low sugar attack are still fresh even if it was two months ago. Sleepless nights for all of us in the hospital we are trying to wake her up.
Al Fresco
We thank God that until now my mom is in good shape and last December 17 was her 64th birthday.
Due to so much business, we did not celebrate on the exact date. We agreed together to celebrate her birthday on the 20th of December so all of us can come and celebrate together.
Parola means Lighthouse
On that day of celebration, we decided to eat out at the newly opened al fresco restaurant in Naga the "Parola Seaview". We will have dinner together with our family.
The interiors
We arrived at the place by 5:30 pm but many people lined up already waiting for any table where to sit down and dine. I went to the front desk and asked for a table for 9. We are on the waiting list and many other people are still reserving sets. While waiting I took pictures of the interiors and exteriors of the restaurant.
The front desk
We waited for almost thirty minutes and at last, we had a table. We ordered our food and waited for another thirty minutes. The food arrived completely. Before we started to eat we took pictures together with the food. We ordered a lot of food that we need to add another table so it can fit everything.
Me,Mother and Brother
We started eating and while we were about to finish a group of crew brought the cake we bought outside and started singing a happy birthday song. Tears flowed from my mother's eyes, a feeling of joy.

Taking pictures for the food
Extra Table
We spent more time together as we finished our food. My mom kept on saying thank you to all of us. We are enjoying one another even in our differences. This kind of occasion bonds us together even on our busy schedules.
Tears of joy
I always thank God for another gift of life He gave to my mom. And a simple celebration we can give to our loved ones brings joy to their hearts.
