Carmina is traveling to the United States to spend time with her family. My dad planned a family gathering for Mother's Day at their favorite Pinoy restaurant . Since reservations aren’t possible, we arrived an hour early to ensure we could get a table for twelve before everyone else showed up. As my dad approached Isla Grand , the branch we visited in Pleasant Hills, California , the host at the door said they could prepare a table for twelve at five o'clock. Later, the server called my dad's name and guided us to our table. The place was bustling with people enjoying meals and celebrating Mother's Day.

Some of us lose the memory from the past. Other prefers not to go back where the memory is too painful especially coming out in a heartbroken relationship or family/friends no longer exist. Some of us lost someone during the pandemic bringing out an emotional withdraw. Those who have no family reach out to old friends who knew who they were. Life comes into an obstacle helping those who feel alone and self-pity of oneself. We can visit and spend with those people while we can add new memories for our family/friends giving them courage to pass off what is missing. We have friends who have worked in another country to finance their own expenses. When the moment comes, we can reunite with the family/friends who have worked abroad. We have family/friends where our life was being restricted as we kept in touch by social media during the times we stayed at our homes. We're allowed to go out and reunite with our friends who bring us to Wellness - Self Care - Social Connecting with Friends...
