Call 364 : BUGS THEME

Hello Son,                                                                (continue from Call 363)



It's 12:43 pm on Mother's Day. 


Just came back from having a nice brunch with Grandma, Aunty C and Justine at this French cafe in Taman Desa. We all had pasta and thick creamy soup and now feeling quite fat and lazy. 


Justine's trying to study. Her first paper starts tomorrow. Help your sister, would You please? Go whisper to her the stuffs that she needs to know, yeah?

Mom must continue with her Mother's Day story from Call 363. It wouldn't be complete otherwise. You just gotta know this really unbelievable SIGN that ZAPPED her on the internet yesterday morning (Saturday 12th) because it's just so omg - incredible. 


You ready? 


Okay ...


So anyway, after telling herself to look for a second zap sign from her son since the handsign on Monday 7th ... a whole week just breezed past. 


Of course, don't get your mother wrong ... there were the daily signs ... the unexplained "what are the chances" coinciDANs ... It's just so very awesome that every little thing reminds Mom of You. How's that possible?


Unfortunately, those little signs did not give your mother that zap that is supposed to connect her to the internet message that she discovered on that Monday 7th.


Mom could not think of anything else except that Mother and Son I Love You handsign throughout the week. How awesome for her to stumble upon that image so easily that day.

Then on Saturday, May 12 yesterday ...


teng teng teng ...



Mom was in school. 


She was on Call 362. She had originally intended to tell You about that incredible sign that had zapped her that morning, but was side-tracked when she started talking about the maid.


She was on the computer, checking her emails. There was one new email from Elaine Engerdahl (author of Kinderplans website). Mom had subscribed to Elaine's online newsletter sometime end of last year, and have since been receiving online updates on lesson plans and preschool news from this author every now and then.


She checked the email and saw a new link on BUGS THEME. Clicking from one link to another, she soon found herself on a video. She clicked on the video. 


Mom was not expecting anything exciting. It wasn't a theme she was exactly excited about. Can You blame her? The link is on Bugs, for cryin' out loud. How excited can she get about insects? She did want to find out though whether spiders were classified under bugs. 



Are creepy crawlies, bugs?  




Before she knew it, the video came to an end ... and that was when the ZAP happened. 



OMG ...



When she least expect it ...



Would You believe it but this page turned up after the video ended.

Notice the time at the bottom?

Oh gosh ...

DAN ...

ZAP ZAP ZAP ...


 
Mom could not help but stare at the screen for a good few minutes.




That Mother and Son handsign ... 

You wanted to know if that handsign is really from me, Ma? You're looking for a second sign? Here it is. :D:D:D

Omg ... That was surreal. 



It really, really, REALLY is from You, Daniel. 



It - CLEARLY - is - from - You.




Gosh, what are the chances? 





Honestly, what are the chances? You must have whispered to Mom to tell her to check her email and to check out the link and the video ... and to wait until the video came to an end. Otherwise, she could have stopped the video mid-way. 






Oh WOW, Son ...






WOW WOW WOW ...






What a lovely message for Mom for Mother's Day. :D






That evening, Mom picked Justine up from the condo to go for dinner. Dad was in Jakarta. We were going to our favourite pan mee coffee shop. 



In the car, Mom was telling Justine about the inciDANs that happened that morning. Then, at one point, Justine reached over to the radio to change the station and guess what ...






WE ARE YOUNG (by FUN) was on.




Mom turned to your sister and said, "Your brother is with us. Mother's Day is tomorrow ..." :D




We turned into the lane where the coffee shop is. It was a long stretch of road. Would You believe it but, every parking bay on our right and left was occupied ... until we arrived at the coffee shop, and spotted an empty bay RIGHT BESIDE the eatery.




"Your brother is definitely with us, Jus," Mom said with a big grin on her face. Your sister grinned back.






We ordered our food and drinks. 






While waiting for our food to arrive, Mom filled Justine in about the inciDANs that had happened during the week (some of which are not written yet on the blog) (no time no time).


Anyway, when we were done with our meal, Mom asked Justine to call for the bill. 


The waiter came to our table, and presented the bill to Justine. Your sister looked at the small piece of paper and dramatically dropped her jaw.






Mom asked, "What?"






Jus said, "RM 21 ..."








Mom was like, "Really? On the dot? Let me see ..."



It can't get any better than this. What a nice close after a series of zaps during the week. 



Especially the one this morning - the DAN zap ...

 

That is a loud and clear sign that You were / are with us, Daniel.

Yes Son, always and all the time and every other time ... :D

Thank you, Son ... for making your presence felt all the time. 

At the time of writing this entry, Mom could only find this photo we took of You whilst in the USA (from your sister's laptop). You were 10 years old then. Mom's computer crashed and so she is unable to access your photo album. Not to worry though, Dad has a back up file ... just don't know where he kept it. :D



Your sister says that sometimes You have 2 fingers up, and sometimes 3, sometimes thumbs-up and sometimes peace sign. You know what? It doesn't matter ... it doesn't matter how many fingers You put up or down ... because whatever handsign You give us, Daniel, we know now that it means I LOVE YOU ... 



It's that simple. 

It's so easy ... :D

We hear You, Daniel ... Your words from the hospital bed two weeks before You left us. Yes, we hear You loud and clear ... and yes, it's so easy.



Today, on Mother's Day, all the little clues and jigsaw zap puzzles have fallen into place. Can You imagine if it didn't? Honestly, can You imagine if Mom was still looking for the second sign? Aiyoh ... nightmare man, nightmare. You wouldn't let that happen, now would You? Can You imagine if she did not check the BUGS link? She would not have seen the DAN zap ...



Oh Wow ... so meant to be. It's so incredibly amazing. The timing is always so spot on. 



Need to go now, Son. Have to go fetch Dad from the airport.



Thank you, Daniel, for the handsign message. 



We love You too ... Please wish Mama Mary a Happy Mother's Day from all of us back home ... and oh, one last thing (for today), tell Mama Mary, Mom says thank you for - everything.




Mama Mary will know ...




She'll know ... 



She's a mother ...




She'll know ...




Be good and don't stuff yourself on too many cupcakes. :D

Call 363 : MOTHER'S DAY

Hello Son,


Monday, May 7


Earlier in the week, on Monday, May 7 ... 

Mom was on the computer in school, preparing some songs and activities for the week. Our theme was on MOTHER'S DAY ... for obvious reasons. 


Among the daily activities for the week centering on MOTHERS, she had chosen a nice song by Celine Dion for SPEECH & DRAMA - BECAUSE YOU LOVE ME - but had carefully changed the words to reflect the present tense. 


You remember this song, don't You? Mom has told You before that every mother would love to have this song dedicated to her, when You asked once why Mom was teaching such a difficult song to her 6 year olds, three or four years back, during concert time. 


Three or four years ago ...


How fast time flies. Speaking of which, this 21st, You'd be away from us for the 28th month. That's almost like ... what ... a century already. Oh gawd.


Gawd.


Gawd.


Gawd.


Not calling God's name in vain.




Anyway, here are the lyrics:

Mommy

You are my strength when I am weak

 

You are my voice when I cannot speak

You are my eyes when I cannot see

You see the best there is in me


You lift me up when I cannot reach

You give me faith 'cause you believe

I am everything I am, Mommy

Because You love Me

BECAUSE YOU LOVED ME

By Celine Dion.

So anyway, the plan was to get the kids to recite it along with hand actions and all. 


For this reason, Mom googled for the handsign for mother ... 


and boy oh boy ... 


was she surprised when she saw this image right at the top of the computer screen, second image from the left:

Zzzzzaaaapppp ...



Mom instantly thought of all your photos that she has of You showing this handsign. 


Why, there are several of them. 


No, many ... there are many of them.


So many of them.


She can easily pick 10 photos of You with that ... that - Spiderman - handsign. 



Gosh, how awesome for Mom to find this image as she was looking for the handsign for "mother." You sure know how to make your presence felt, Daniel.




It wasn't until she moved the mouse onto the image that the words at the bottom of the image, popped up. 



Omg, what's this?



What she read left her gasping ... literally. 


 
Omg ...



You - have - got - to - be - kidding ...
 

mother - and - son - I - love - you - hand - sign




Omg ...




mother and son I love you handsign?






Omg Omg Omg ...






That was surreal ...






That sure was You saying I Love You, Mom to your mother on the internet. 



Oh gosh ... 



With Mother's Day on Sunday 13th, at the end of the week (it was Monday 7th when she discovered the image), that felt somewhat special, Daniel. You found a way to tell Mom, I Love You, all the way from Heaven. 



Sniff ...



How amazing is that? 





Mom couldn't wait to tell Dad.

She was literally bursting with excitement when she could finally tell Dad. 



"Omg ... all his spiderman handsigns ... all this while ... it's a mother and son I LOVE YOU handsign ... We never knew ... We never knew that ... He's saying I LOVE YOU in all the photos that we have of him with that handsign ... Not just I LOVE YOU ... but I LOVE YOU, MOM ... MOM ... It's a Mother and Son's secret code ... The caption could have stated FATHER AND SON, OR FATHER AND DAUGHTER but no, it did not ... it CLEARLY AND SPECIFICALLY spells out MOTHER and SON ... MOTHER AND SON I LOVE YOU handsign ... OMG OMG OMG ... WHAT ARE THE CHANCES??? NO CHANCE NO CHANCE NO CHANCE ... THIS IS SON TALKING TO ME ... I'm telling you he's talking to me ..." 



He's talking to me ...



Omg ...






And that's the short summary of what Mom said to Dad when she burst out in one thousand words per minute, that evening.



Pause to take a breath ... 

You call that a summary ah, Ma? :D






Haha ... 



Chuckle.






Mother's Day is coming. What better time to spot this message than right then? From that moment, Daniel, let Mom tell You that she now sees all your photos with that handsign, in a different light. 



Yeah, You could say the uh, shadow, has been removed.




Before, the most likely caption behind your photos would simply be a "Daniel and his Spiderman handsign" ... but now ... 


Omg now, it's "Daniel saying, I love You, Mom ... " <3




Gosh ...




That is so awesome ...


So very awesome ...
 

Yet ...



Still ... 



When all the dust of excitement settled, there was a small teeny weeny little DOUBTING THOMAS voice that began to bug her ...



Mom sees You shaking your head here.


 
Shouldn't there be like - two signs?

 

If that handsign message is really for her from her son in heaven, there would be two zaps. Remember? That's the rule. 



There must be two zaps for her to know FOR SURE that the I LOVE YOU, MOM message is from You. Having said that, Mom must confess that even if, she did not get a second zap, it doesn't matter. All your photos with the handsign are ZAP enough. 




She's still hugging herself with delight each time she thinks and sees your photo with the (no longer Spiderman, but) I LOVE YOU, MOM handsign.






That's just so incredible.






Mama Mary must have planned this right from the beginning.

Call 362 : THE MAID

Hello Son,


It's Saturday today. 


Yayyy!


Mom's in school.


Dad's overseas. 


Justine's studying at home ... 


and You ... You are ...




What would You be doing on a Saturday morning at 9:33 am? If only your mother could have a little peek at what You are doing right at this moment. 


Let's see ...




Mother's Day is tomorrow. 


Are You doing something special for Mama Mary? The kids at school presented their mothers with a rainbow decorated cupcake, a straw beaded necklace and a really awesome Happy Mother's Day card that's been carefully designed to touch the heart and bring a tear. 


Try beating that. Hah! :D


Grin.

 (a cute card from the internet)

By the way, school's closed today. 



Mom's here to use the computer ... and to wait for the maid. The maid is doing some cleaning. The desk computer at home has crashed for the final time. That is why it has been difficult, though not impossible, to download her eviDANS for some of the entries the past 2 weeks or so. All the handphone and camera cables are attached to that desk computer at home. She needs to get a new computer. :D


Oh, talking about the maid, Mom's owing an entry about the maid, she knows ... but You know what ... let her tell You about it now in brief.



Okay so let's start by saying that, this maid is God-sent. 



Yes, really. 



OMG really.




Really really.




Mom had a feeling You have a hand in it because on Wednesday, March 21st, 21st being your 25th month anniversary, a phone call came from the maid agency. 


By this time, we have been waiting for the maid for more than 2 months. The several phone calls Mom made to the agent was met with a string of cold and uncommitted replies of :


"We can't confirm the date of arrival ..."


So anyway, Mom was pleasantly surprised to hear the agent say over the phone, "The maid is arriving on Friday." 


That was like, in two days' time then.


Mom called up Dad and told him that the agent called. 


Dad said, "About time. I was gonna go to the agency to tell them off."


Mom continued excitedly, 


"Son is sending me the maid. I know it's him. Today is his 21st. The agent called today. Helloo? Today? He could have called yesterday or the day before yesterday or tomorrow or the day after tomorrow ... but he had to call today ... TODAY ... the 21st." :D




Of course, by the time she was done with her um, submission, Dad was pretty much convinced that You are responsible for delivering the maid to your mother.




So anyway, the maid came on Friday. The agent sent her to school. It was about 3 pm or so in the afternoon.

Upon first introduction, Mom felt she had chosen the right girl. She has a pleasant personality and carries a smile on her face. She's polite and appears to be hard working ... which Mom is happy to confirm that the girl is, at the time of writing.




The agent left about half an hour later.




Mom was showing the maid the kitchen stuff and giving her some instructions .. at the same time asking some casual questions about her background.




Maid R is 23 years old. She looks older for her age though. She eats rice three times a day, always with dried fish, she said. 



Hmmm ... 



Dried fish? And where are we gonna find this dried fish? 



Mom changed the subject abruptly, and asked if the maid has any children. Your mother knows from the biodata that the maid does not have any children. Mom had specified she wanted a maid who's educated, likes working with children and able to do the usual household chores. More importantly, she must be a Catholic.




It would not be possible for us to have a live-in maid of a different faith. Our God is a jealous God. Is He still? There can be no other God for us, your family, but Jesus Christ.



The maid replied, "Yes Ma'am, I have one daughter ..."




One daughter?

What? She lied in her biodata?






" ... but she died." The maid finished quietly.






Oh ...






Time stood still.






Very still ...






W-what did the maid say? You know very well what she said, your mother chided herself impatiently. It was loud and clear. 



The maid's baby girl died. 



It was at that point that Mom knew with a hundred percent certainty that YOU had sent Maid R to her.






"What happened?" Mom asked.




The maid said, "She died 10 minutes after I gave birth to her."




 "When did this happen?" Mom probed further.




The girl said, "Last year, April, Ma'am."



Pause.



Last --- Year --- April? 



The girl's exact words.



As in 2011, 4?




Decode : 44




Oh My Gosh ...

I picked this maid for You, Ma ... :D

Omg ...




If your mother needed any more eviDANS, it would have to be the following information that the maid supplied freely :




"After that, I take care of a baby, Ma'am ... the mother was sick ... cancer ... leukemia ... until the mother died ... 8 months later ..."



Mom stared at her.



Omg ...


 
Your mother had to excuse herself as she went back to her desk to plonk herself down on to a seat. Omg ... What are the chances? Mentally, she sent a telepathic message out into the universe, hoping it would shoot straight up to heaven.



It really is You, isn't it, Daniel? You sent this maid to Mom.

Yeah, Ma ... :D

It wasn't until we were at home when Mom spoke to the maid again about the maid's baby. 




Mom said, "You told me earlier that your baby died ... She's alive now with Jesus and Mother Mary ... My son is also with Jesus and Mother Mary ..."




The maid's eyes had widened with surprise.



Your mother continued, 

"Your baby and my son ... they're okay ... they're with Jesus ..."



The maid nodded with a quiet smile, before asking, 

"What happened to your son, Ma'am?"


 
He had a brain tumor, Mom explained and deliberately chose not to go into the details. Those details are no longer important. What's more important is that, You have called upon the Lord many times since You left, to make You a rainbow so You can shine down on your mother, and she'd know You're safe with the Lord, as she stands under your colors.


Pause to take a breath.

Tsk tsk tsk, drama Ma ... :D

IF I DIE YOUNG 

 The Band Perry.

It has been more than a month since You sent Maid R to your mother. This girl really is God-sent. Even Dad commented that Maid R genuinely enjoys taking care of the children.



Thank You, Son ... all her maid worries are now a closed chapter.  


Gonna take a shower now, and continue with the next call in a bit.


Be patient, yah? Back in a bit ...

Call 361 : HIDDEN TIGER

Hello Son, 


Tuesday, May 1
public holiday




Early this morning, Dad was at the computer. 


He was trying to get a flight ticket online. 


After the purchase, Dad said to Mom, 

"Guess how much I paid for the ticket?"



Mom asked, "How much?"



Dad replied, "RM404-40."




Mom chuckled. 



"Looks like Son's gonna be with You on your travel." :D

It was a public holiday that Tuesday. 



Mom spent the day printing worksheets and preparing assessment papers. You heard right. Sigh ... kindergarten was so much easier during her time - but not so long ago. 


Having said that, she enjoys every moment in school. She does ... she really does. Time just flies when she's in school. Somehow, You found a way to bring your mother back to school. She never thought she would return to school after You left. 






The day passed. Evening came ...




Dinner time.

We picked up a friend and her daughter before going for dinner. Justine was with us that evening. 


Dad drove us to a nearby mall. We were gonna have dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant in the mall. 




At the restaurant, we were seated down. While going through the menus and deciding the dishes, Mom asked Justine to run along to the junk food store (haha) to get some kuaci (sunflower seeds).




You know how addicted we can be to kuaci. Every time we are at this mall, we would buy a few tubs of kuaci. 


Normally, 4 tubs. Don't ask why.


So anyway, off your sister went to the sweet shop.

Justine came back a short while later. She bought the 4 tubs. 


Mom asked, "How much?"



Your sister showed Mom the receipt. 


The amount showed RM13-40.




Decode : 44




A big smile appeared on your mother's face. 



Code 44 : Everywhere we are, there You'll be. :D





Oh, take note people. Daniel's with us. 



Big grin.






We had a nice dinner with our two lovely guests, and chatted casually about this and thats. Before our food arrived, Mom opened a tub of kuaci and announced that it was our appetizer. :D She offered the mother and her teenaged daughter. The college girl said she didn't know how to eat kuaci. Ahah!


And so, the next few minutes, the girl's mother and Mom demonstrated our Crouching - Tiger - Hidden - Dragon kuaci skills. 

Haha.





So anyway, our food arrived and soon, we were enjoying our dinner. 


After dinner, we walked a bit in the departmental store before going back.




In the car, on the way to our guests' condo, your sister mentioned at one point, "What an old song ..."




That made Mom stopped to listen. The volume of the radio was way down low to enable us to talk without distraction. She did not have to strain for long, as she recognized almost immediately the song :

GLORY OF LOVE

Karate Kid The Movie

Her eyes shot to the dashboard. 


The time was 8:58 pm.




Decode : 21




Oh My Gosh ...




ZAP ZAP ZAP ...




You must have whispered to your sister to say something to alert Mom. At that right moment, at that perfect angel time, Mom heard it. It had to be a ZAP time.




It had to be.




Of course, it had to be.




How else would she know that her Daniel-son would soon be a-calling? :D 


Grin Grin Grin.

Mom was all smiles in the darkness of the car.




We dropped our guests off at their condo and headed home.




Arriving at our condo, Dad dropped Justine and Mom at the lobby before he went down to the basement to park the car. 


Mom was about to shut the car door when Dad said, 

"Guess how much was dinner just now?"






Mom asked, almost holding her breath, "How much?"




Dad gave Mom a knowing glance before replying, "RM144."




Mom asked, "The exact amount?"






Dad said, "RM144-05."




Decode : 444






That confirmed it.






That's the only eviDANS we need to know that You were with us during dinner and the whole day today. :D






Nite Daniel-son ...






Watch over your sister as she prepares for her finals.






We love You, Son ... <3

Call 360 : FOREVER YOUNG

Hello Son,                                                                     (continue from Call 359)


Sunday, April 22


Mom and Justine went for Sunday mass. 



Dad was in Penang. He left on Saturday afternoon.






During mass that Sunday morning, Mom noticed a woman who was using that handbag gadget sitting on our row, on the right end. 



Huh?  



Another one?




Her immediate thoughts. 




The Sunday BEFORE (April 15), she had noticed TWO similar gadgets on the row in front of her then. Mom had taken a photo. Of course, she had been staring at those two gadgets the whole time during mass that Sunday, reflecting on how her son had given her a similar gadget for Mother's Day last year. 

Omg ... that was surreal.




Back to the present ...




Mom nudged Jus to take a photo. Your mother had left her handphone in school. Your sister did - discreetly - the eviDANs is still in her cell at the time of writing this entry. 



For a whole year, Mom has not seen this handbag accessory, and then all of a sudden, she sees two on the row in front of her the Sunday before, and one on her row, that Sunday morning.  



Strange ...

There's two on your row, Ma ... 

the second one is in your handbag. :D

But of course ... there were two on her row - Hello? Does she not have one in her handbag?




It reminded Mom that Mother's Day is drawing near. Honestly, it was so queer for Mom to see those two gadgets, that Sunday (April 15). Two handbags hanging down from two accessory hooks trying to make a statement to her. :D





Yes, the same gadget that You gave Mom on Mother's Day last year. Being in heaven did not stop You from giving your mother two little gifts on Mother's Day. One was a compact mirror and the other, was the handbag hook. :D 




From You, surely. 




Definitely You. 




Nobody, nobody but You.




Especially so when Aunt D said, as she handed the two little accessories to your mother, 



"They're FREE."








FREE ???







OMG ...





Mom had written a lengthy entry about that, which was lost during publication. Google's fault. Mom's still quite pissed about that.

Call 213 : Tell Dad & Call 214 : Missing Entry

Taken on Sunday April 15. 

Just checked the time and guess what? 

The time is recorded as 8:44 am. :D

Grin. Grin Grin.

After mass, Justine and Mom walked over to our car which was parked by the side of the road. No sooner had your mother started the ignition, the song WE ARE YOUNG came on the radio.




Startled, Mom was quick to point to the time.

 


It was 11:14 am.




Decode : 21 / 24




Awww ...





ZAP ZAP ZAP ...




We had both heard WE ARE YOUNG the evening before. 

WE ARE YOUNG

By Cast of Glee.

And now we hear it again ...




It was almost as though You were with us ...


Oh, what is she saying ...



Of course, You were / are with us ...



It's quite obvious ...






Thanks Son ... :D








So anyway ...






That evening, Justine and Mom drove to one of the coffee shops nearby to have dinner. After a quick meal, we were heading back to the condo, when believe it or not, another YOUNG song came on the radio.






Mom heard it. 





Forever Young ... this version is by Rod Steward. 






Mom was not too familiar with the lyrics but had exclaimed excitedly that that was the 5th YOUNG song since her entry in Call 357 : Young Songs. 



Gosh, how many YOUNG songs, are there anyway?



At home, before the computer, she checked the lyrics:

May the good Lord be with you
Down every road that you roam
And may sunshine and happiness
Surround you when you're far from home
And may you grow to be proud, dignified and true
And do unto others as you'd have done to you

Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart you'll always stay
Forever young, forever young

May good fortune be with you
May your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to Heaven
With a prince or a vagabond

And may you never love in vain
And in my heart you will remain
Forever young, forever young

And when you finally fly away
I'll be hoping that I served you well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime
No one can ever tell

But whatever road you choose
I'm right behind you, win or lose
Forever young, forever young

FOREVER YOUNG

 

By Rod Steward.

There isn't a nice video for this song unfortunately. 

Or maybe there is, but Mom can't seem to find it.

The lyrics somehow have a way of making her feel like she was meant to read the message in the song. Don't You think? The distance from the coffee shop to the condo was short, at the most, 5 minutes' drive away. 

Yet, she had heard the song from beginning to end.

Hmm, she was so meant to hear it.

Justine said, "Daniel knows how to play that Led Zeppelin song Stairway to Heaven ..." 

Yes, Mom remembers with a dull ache in her heart that she had mentioned about that in the blog somewhere, some time ago.

That night, Mom was on the sofa, looking out into the dark sky. 

The day before was your 21st. 

You really are with us, aren't You, Daniel? You really, really are. You know what's going on, and You know how to make your presence felt, don't You?

Mom forgot to mention this ... but that night before your 21st, on Friday 20th, she had checked her cellphone at one point and noticed a text message. It was sent earlier that evening, except that she had not noticed it until then (it was after midnight). After reading the sms, Mom checked the details of the time sent, and was pleasantly surprised to see :

4:21:24 pm

Decode : All You.

Oh wow ...

Then, just as she was basking in the omg moment, she heard the name Daniel being mentioned on television. It was Covert Affairs. She thought she heard wrongly at first, but the name was mentioned another 4 to 5 times in the next minute or so. Mom found herself springing up from the sofa to check her handphone.

Gasp ...

12:24 pm ...

ZAP ZAP ZAP ...

Dad was by the computer (this was Friday 20th). Your mother had thrust her phone to his face to make him see the angel time. 

He saw ...

Oh yes, he saw ...

Of course, he saw ... 

December 24 ...

Who else could it be?

You. 

All You.

Nobody, nobody but Me, Ma ... :D

Chuckle.

You and Dad share that birthdate ...

It's just so very amazing how You make your presence felt.

Every little thing reminds us of You ...

You'll stay forever young in our hearts, Daniel ... <3

Keep the zaps coming, Son ...
