my little butterfly's pink & purple wings |
In a country that celebrates Halloween, I knew for sure the kids (or make that Nikki) would wanna join in the fun. Not that they really understand what it's all about. For one, we (our family) don't celebrate it and two, we still hold the traditions and beliefs we grew up in close to our hearts. We dearly miss the yearly "kalag-kalag" back home and miss the love ones (both alive and departed) we celebrate it with.
The kids will grow up not knowing their Lola Lucia, or their great grandmas or grandpas. Yet, it warms my heart knowing I've got a few more "angels" watching over them.
"Eternal rest grant unto to them O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May the rest in peace."
murag somehow nikki is celebrating our kalag kalag. sa amoa, if there is a butterfly, ingon nila it is a good sign nga naay loved one nga ning bisita signifying they are in heaven now. i'd like to think of it this way. glad you found nikki a costume. there is so much happiness in her. glowing kaayo nga butterfly.
ReplyDeletethanks Chi! she was the happiest in her costume gyud, gikan sa tindahan, up until naabot mi sa balay and everytime she wakes up, she had this happy smile on her face. and she kept thanking me. such gratitude from kids gyud noh!
