The Buenaobras:Yup this is three generations of Buenaboras on the couch (and in my picture of course), as we... that is, Barnie, Bernice and I, visited Cavite so Barbie could check in on her family - more specifically, her dad; who's not really recovering well to Cancer.
In fact, this picture is so deceptive as both Barbie and her mom are definitely affected by what's happening - and yet, they find time to smile for the camera. Amazing how people can find strength in face of certain adversity, huh?
What makes this picture priceless, though, is Jude Brent's smile (if we can call it that) to the camera - another testament to how great Barbie's folks help shape their grand children... specially since Bea, Jude's mom, had to go back to Dubai to work for both her, and Jude's future.
Barbie might say that this visit was to offer some comfort to her dad (and her mom), but honestly, it seems more like they've offered me (without knowing it) a glimpse of their family's strength - they are an inspiration, and I'm glad they accepted me into their family a little over two decades past.
