This morning was a memorable one. A and I dropped by at the OMI Retreat House to say hello to Fr. Phil. He was my Ninong Oscar's superior during his seminarian days. He has recently been instrumental in helping A and we are both thankful for his gesture. Going around the center was like a throwback for me because it reminded me of childhood summers at Cotabato, where Ninong Oscar was a seminarian. The place was serene and secluded so I felt close to God. I also felt blessed this morning. It was a priceless way to begin the holiday and to close the long weekend. I look forward to more conversations with Fr. Phil and of course better days ahead with A.
