They say you can’t really move forward without remembering the past.
We’ve been going goo-goo-gaga over my niece but it was time to pay tribute to a very special woman to me and my brother. Everyone, meet Nanay Virgie. The woman who helped raise us with the same unconditional love, patience and compassion as our real mom. Hence, our endearment… “Nanay.”
She’s the real deal. Think Mrs. Doubtfire. With the high-pitched “hello’s” and hearty laugh that can make you smile even during your gloomiest day.
My brother and I are currently checking what it would take to bring her to Australia and take care of Julia.
