july 20...that evening i was busy packing all our stuff because we were going to manila the following day. nitz was arriving from paris. we planned to stay in manila for a couple of days because we needed to (1) renew our passports, (2) submit/finalize the documents needed for our canada immigration application and (3) spend time with my in-laws.
it was almost midnight when my dad came out of his bedroom and asked me to take some pictures of him. it was the very first time that i saw him smile!! he was full of energy and really happy!! he wore a nice polo shirt and i started taking photos of him with the kids and with my mom. that time i was playing some music, it was the cd of westlife... i was surprised that my dad started dancing!!! i ran for my video and recorded it!! then he requested if we could play a tango tune so he and mom could dance. and they did dance... tango then cha-cha!! and before he went to bed, he picked-up and carried isabelle.it was really one amazing night!! i had been there since july 9 but that night was the very first night that my dad was really happy.
