Dearest Daughter

Today you turned 14 mos and let me tell you how funny and smart you are...At 14mos you already understand a lot of words for your age. When mommy said "Oracion" (prayer in spanish) you would folds your arms ready for prayer! You would repeat simple words such as "Cabeza" (head in spanish) and at one time you would point to my nose and said "wat dat!". I would try to make you ask me the question again but you wouldn't, you only said what you want to said when you want to say it at your own time!

Well I forgot to mention that we have recently moved to a new house and area which is called Blacktown. We also now attending a new ward and I would take you with me to Sunday School and to Relief Society class but you would make lot of noises because you are always talking in your own language and people would be looking at us so I finally decided to take you to nursery class. You absolutely loves nursery class but you also would cry if I'm not there with you. So funny to watch you especially when this little boy keep trying to come and play with you but you tell him "AWAY!"

Anyways today on your B'day I took you to take a photo with Santa Clause and you were crying and poor Santa he looks so exhausted..lol. We bought the photos because your aunt Lili and I thought it was pretty funny.

I am so grateful for you especially now when I am still mourning for your little baby brother Angel you have helped me to ease the pain just with your beautiful smile and presence. I love you so much and you are mommy sunshine in this dark moment.

Baby Angel

There's no words that can explain the pain of losing a baby. Two weeks ago Erick & I found out the good news that I was about 5 wks pregnant. Today I have miscarriage and we just came back from the hospital 2 hours ago. Erick and I both cried as the doctor told us that the baby is gone. We named him Baby Angel and we are going to dedicate our life to serve God from now on and hopefully one day we will see our little baby again. Erick has given me a blessing earlier that mention that the baby boy I'm carrying is very sick but everything will be okay according to our faith. I was hoping that somehow a miracle could happen and baby Angel would be okay but I guess Heavenly Father sees that he only needs to come and receive a body and return back to him. The miracle this baby has brought is for Erick and I to remember the Lord and to have faith in him. So now we decided that I don't need to go back to work anymore but to stay home and be a full time mom and also to have more babies!!! We also decided that from now on we will always going to remember this date, 13 December 2008 of our little Angel who is now watching over us. I hope you know that we love you so much and we are looking forward to see you one day.

Bad News

Words can't describe how heart broken I am to hear the bad news sobre mi hermano today from my sister Pesi.  All day long I was just sad and very disappointed over what had happened. It seems like a bad dream but I know it's not.  I just don't want to talk about it now but will write again in  a month time when hopefully thing get a little better and not too painful.

Count Your Blessing...

A single mother of two at her early thirty come to see me today at work as she's one of my clients and told me of her unfortunate story with tears falling down from her eyes. The poor lady has been married twice and both time failed. The first husband took their daughter to live with his parents at Turkey and won't let her see or talk to her after 6 yrs now. And her second husband now has remarried and now live just a block away from her! As I heard her story my heart cried out for her that tears start falling down from my eyes too! As a mother myself I could feel her pain and her frustration for not being able to see or hear from her daughter after all these years. Being a member of the church I know that Heavenly Father is mindful of her and what she's going through and this experience will only make her stronger and become a better person. It's true what they say that when you help someone elses burden it lighten up your burden. I mean after hearing my client's story I was reminded how blessed I am for having the gospel in my life, my family, friends, health, job and the list goes on.....

Rosario opening up her B'day presents

Seriously these photos posted are not even half of the photos & pressies Rosario received from her B'day party! Luckily Erick and I will be moving soon to a bigger house by the end of this month. The town house where we are living now its just too small and have no space for all of Rosario's toys!

A loving husband

(He adores me)


(My buddies at work)

I'm still sick with the flu but unfortunately I have to get up and go to work. I'm working for a company called Mission Australia as a Employment Consultant. It's a government job and we are based on helping people who receive benefit from centerlink (government) to find full time employment so that they can be off benefit. I have over a 100 clients which I have to help find works and it's not an easy job especially when half of them don't want to work and the other half are working cash in hands but don't want to declare so that they can keep receiving money from the government. You could imagine how tired I was after work at 5.30pm today and was only glad to be at home with my loving hubby and daughter.
Erick being a loving hubby let me take a nap while he took care of Rosario and at the same time cooks dinner (baked chicken, carrot rice and corn). Despite Erick imperfection he is very loving and understanding and he shows me that he loves me everyday. I am grateful and very lucky to have him as an eternal companion and I do love him with all my heart too.

Change of Heart

Delgado Family(General Conference) on a Sunday Morning

Sitting here on my bed in the middle of the hot night of November I could hear baby's primary songs softly playing on the background and also noises from the speeding traffic travelling outside. My heart is not at peace firstly because I'm still recovering from the flu but I know the main reason is because I have not been keeping the Sabbath Day holy. Today for example because I didn't go to church I've spent the day watching TV and getting my hubby Erick to buy me food from Red Rooster. Worst of all this is not the first time that it happened in fact is becoming a habit that our family on Sunday we always watched TV and eat out! Somewhere in my troubled heart I know that Heavenly Father still loves me and my little family. I will try to keep the Sabbath Day holy and will update it every Sunday as a goal to help me and my little family be on the right path.
