Lang zal zij leven

Yesterday we've celebrated the Birthday of Mama Gea, my mother-in-law. She is still recovering from recent operation of her back, still she came so we can celebrate together her birthday... We did some singing in videoke as you can see in 2nd and 3rd photo.

In the first photo you'll see me with Mama Gea. That's our photo way back in Manila, on January this year, she came in Manila together with Papa Willem to accompany me and my daughter as we travel going to Holland because on those months my husband can't have vacation leave anymore... Anyway, that's how sweet Mama Gea is... Actually that was her 2nd visit in Manila, February last year was the first time she came in Manila also with Papa Willem, to meet my parents and also to see her granddaughter (my daughter) whom I just gave birth then.

I remember the first time I met her over the internet as Ron introduced me to her, i feel so shy then... And I remember the first time I received an email from her, I got tears in my eyes then because I felt right away that she's accepting me and she's happy for me and Ron... She even told me then in that email how happy was Ron when he got his ticket going to Manila to visit me for the first time in 2005...

I want to thank Mama Gea for everything... I wish her fast recovery from her back operation. Just take it easy and have enough rest... My family in Manila and my Papa in Saudi are sending their warm greetings too...

Happy Birthday Mama Gea and Gefeliciteerd to Papa Willem!

I dedicate this Dutch Birthday Song to Mama Gea....

Lang zal zij leven
lang zal zij leven
lang zal zij leven in de gloria
In de gloria, in de gloria!
Hiep hiep hoera!
Hiep hiep hoera!
Hiep hiep hoera!
