A portrait of my beautiful mother taken earlier this year 🖤 This will be my second Christmas without her here in America. I’ve been making it a point to have longer phone conversations with her after my dad passed. The usual 5 minute conversations have evolved into 1-2 hour FaceTime calls about life, our fears, and the future. The bond I have with my mother has never been stronger. Can’t wait to see you again Mommy 🖤 // Aklan, Philippines
