A Year Older

I turned a year older last May 16. I am overwhelmed with the birthday greetings and wishes I received from family, friends and acquaintances through facebook and SMS. There was no party but I fulfilled my promise to my kids to bring them in a nearby resort for a night swimming. My friends have been inviting me to resorts within the city, they also organized an outing in Abra where one of my friends and her family are currently residing and try Pagudpud beach but I politely declined. We will be attending my brother in law's wedding on June 08 and my daughter Acey will act as one of the flower girls and I do not want her complexion to darken because of swimming and most importantly, I can't allow my kids stay in the water under the scorching heat of the sun even if there are various sunblocks available with higher SPF. I believe dermatologists when they say that direct exposure in the sun can cause harmful effects. Two hours of night swimming is already enough for my kids. It made their summer complete!
