A day before we left, Dad and Mom organized a birthday dinner for Margs and Jaime and at the same time made it a despedida for Jaime!  It was a very special occasion! 🙂

    it’s kinda sad when our kids leave home temporarily to either study or work elsewhere. they need our prayers and constant communication. belated happy birthday to your Jaime and may God bless him always ….

    Dear RLJ,

    I just want to share that when Jaime was still visiting his Lolo Jun in his office in Cubao (2002-2003), I was privileged to have him in my room. I had a steel puzzle, which no one never knew how to entangle. I asked Jaime to stay with me then. He toyed with the puzzle and he entangled it. It showed his high IQ. I see a bright future for him. Good luck Jaime and God bless!
